STRONGS G3815:
παίζω; from
Homer down; properly,
to play like a child; then universally,
to play, sport, jest; to give way to hilarity, especially by joking, singing, dancing; so in
1 Corinthians 10:7, after
Exodus 32:6 where it stands for
צִחֵק, as in
Genesis 21:9;
Genesis 26:8;
Judges 16:25; also in the
Sept. for
שִׂחַק. (Compare:
ἐμπαίζω.)
