Thank Thanks Thanksgiving (ISBE)

thaṇk , thaṇks , thaṇks - giv´ing , thaṇks´giv - ing : Both the verb and the nouns appear almost uniformly for ידה , yādh̄ah , and εύχαριστέω , eucharistéō , and their cognates. Eucharisteō is the usual Greek verb for "to thank," but yādhāh takes on this force only through its context and is rather a synonym for "raise" or "bless" (which see) Septuagint renders yādhāh usually by ἐξομολογέω , exomologéō , "speak forth together" "praise" (compare Tobit 12:20; Sirach 39:6 , etc., and the use of "thank" in English Versions of the Bible to correspond), and this verb reappears in Matthew 11:25 parellel Luke 10:21 , with English "thank" (the Revised Version margin "praise"). Compare the use of anthomologéomai (Luke 2:38 ) and homologéō (Hebrews 13:15 , the King James Version "giving thanks," the Revised Version (British and American) "make confession"; the King James Version is preferable). For cháris in the sense of "thanks" (note the singular "thank" in the King James Version Sirach 20:16; Luke 6:32-34 ), see GRACE . 1 Peter 2:19 the King James Version has "thankworthy" for charis , the Revised Version (British and American) "acceptable," the Revised Version margin "grace."
