The Greek word δοχή (dochē) is defined as a "banquet." It appears only twice in the Bible, indicating a focus on a specific type of social gathering. This word likely refers to a formal, festive meal, possibly one where food and drink are abundant, and social interaction is a key aspect. The limited occurrences of δοχή suggest that it may be used to highlight the extravagance or magnificence of a particular event, rather than being a common term. Its significance lies in its ability to convey a sense of celebration and communal sharing, which may be an important aspect of the social context in which it is used.
