Confer, Conference

lit., "to put before" (pros, "towards," ana, "up," and tithemi, "to put"), i.e., "to lay a matter before others so as to obtain counsel or instruction," is used of Paul's refraining from consulting human beings, Gal 1:16 (translated "imparted" in Gal 2:6; AV, "added ... in conference"). Cp. the shorter form anatithemi, in Gal 2:2, "laid before," the less intensive word being used there simply to signify the imparting of information, rather than conferring with others to seek advice. See ADD, IMPART.

"to speak together with" (sun, "with," laleo, "to speak"), is translated "conferred" in Act 25:12; elsewhere of talking with, Mat 17:3, Mar 9:4, Luk 4:36, Luk 9:30; "communed" in Luk 22:4. See COMMUNE, SPEAK, TALK.

lit., "to throw together" (sun, "with," ballo, "to throw"), is used of "conversation, to discourse or consult together, confer," Act 4:15. See ENCOUNTER, HELP, MEET WITH, PONDER.

Note: For the AV, "conference" in Gal 2:6, see No. 1, above.
