Senses
1. sense 1 — Indicates gathering, assembling, or bundling together, whether of people coming together or objects being collected into a twisted bundle. The multilingual glosses (Spanish 'reuniéndose/habiendo reunido,' French 'se rassembler') show both personal and material applications. Matthew 17:22 uses it for the disciples assembling together in Galilee before Jesus' passion prediction, while Acts 28:3 describes Paul gathering a bundle of brushwood, leading to the dramatic viper incident that amazed the Maltese. 2×
