γάμος

Strong’s: G1062

Associated OET lemmas: γάμος

Notes: γάμος[a] differs in meaning from γαμέω and γαμίζω[a] (34.66: γαμέω / 34.66: γαμίζω) in denoting the state of being married and not simply the act of entering into a marriage relation.; Though the meaning of νυμφών and γάμος[c] in RV MAT 22:10 · LV MAT 22:10 · Read together MAT 22:10 is basically the same, νυμφών may still carry semantic associations relating to the bride, while γάμος[c] may have semantic associations which point more specifically to the celebration of a wedding.
