    DefinitionShort: an assembled group of worshipers or members of such a group
    Glosses: ['assembly', 'congregation']
    Comments: In {S:05900200200010} συναγωγή may indicate the place of gathering, rather than the assembled group (see {L:συναγωγή}[c], {D:7.20}).|In translating {S:05900200200010} it is possible to render the conditional clause as ‘if a person comes into your church’ or ‘… into your congregation.’

    DefinitionShort: a congregation of Jews
    Glosses: ['synagogue', 'congregation']
    Comments: Since the borrowed term ‘synagogue’ in receptor languages so frequently refers only to a building rather than to a congregation, it may be necessary in {S:04400900200018} to say ‘he asked for letters of introduction to leaders of the synagogues’ or ‘… leaders of the congregations of Jews.’

    DefinitionShort: a building of assembly, associated with religious activity (normally a building in which Jewish worship took place and in which the Law was taught, but in {S:05900200200010} a Christian assembly place)
    Glosses: synagogue or Christian assembly place
    Comments: It is also possible to interpret συναγωγή in {S:05900200200010} as a reference to an assembly of believers rather than to a building (see {D:11.44}).|It is important to distinguish clearly between συναγωγή[c] and {L:ναός}[a] ({D:7.15}) or {L:ἱερός}[b] ({D:7.16}). There were many synagogues, but only one Temple in Jerusalem, and it is not enough to speak of synagogues merely as ‘small temples.’ It is better either to borrow a term for synagogue or employ a descriptive equivalent such as ‘places where Jewish people worshiped God’ or ‘buildings for worshiping God.’|It is also important to distinguish in translating between a term for ‘synagogue’ and for ‘church,’ whether as a reference to the congregation or to the building.
