Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 1735: ἐνδέχομαιἐνδέχομαι; to receive, approve of, admit, allow (as τόν λόγον, Herodotus 1, 60). Impersonally, ἐνδέχεται it can be allowed, is possible, may be (often thus in Greek prose from Thucydides down): followed by an accusative with an infinitive Luke 13:33; cf. Luke 17:1. (Cf. δέχομαι, at the end.) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the preposition ἐν (en, meaning "in" or "within") and δέχομαι (dechomai, meaning "to receive" or "to accept").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐνδέχομαι, the concept of accepting or allowing something to be possible can be related to Hebrew terms such as קָבַל (qabal, Strong's 6901), which means "to receive" or "to accept," and יָכַל (yakol, Strong's 3201), which means "to be able" or "to have the power to do something." These terms reflect similar themes of acceptance and possibility within the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: The term ἐνδέχομαι is used in the context of accepting or allowing something to be possible. It is often employed in philosophical or rhetorical discussions to denote the possibility or conceivability of an idea or action. Context: The Greek term ἐνδέχομαι appears in the New Testament in contexts where the possibility or acceptance of an idea is under consideration. It is a compound word that combines the notion of being "within" (ἐν) with the act of "receiving" or "accepting" (δέχομαι). This term is not frequently used in the New Testament but carries significant weight in discussions about what is conceivable or permissible within a given framework.
