Thayer's Greek Lexicon
τράπεζα, τραπέζης, ἡ (from τέτρα, and πέζα a foot), from Homer Idown, the Sept. for ùËÑìÀçÈï, a table;
1.
a. a table on which food is placed, an eating-table: Mat 15:27; Mar 7:28; Luk 16:21; Luk 19:23; Luk 22:21; Luk 22:30; the table in the temple at Jerusalem on which the consecrated loaves were placed (see πρόθ??Ezr 1:1-11), Heb 9:2.
b. equivalent to the food placed upon the table (cf. Fritzsche on Additions to ): παρατιθέναι πραπεζαν (like the Latinmensam apponere (cf. our ’to set a good table’)), to set a table, i. e., food, before one (Thucydides 1, 130; Aelian v. h. 2, 17), Act 16:34; διακονεῖν, ταῖς τραπέζαις (see διακονέω, 3), Act 6:2.
c. a banquet, feast (from Herodotus down): Rom 11:9 (from Psa 68:23 ()); μετέχειν τραπέζης δαιμονίων, to partake of a feast prepared by ((?) see below) demons (the idea is this: the sacrifices of the Gentiles inure to the service of demons who employ them in preparing feasts for their worshippers; accordingly one who participates in those feasts, enters into communion and fellowship with the demons); κυρίου, to partake of a feast prepared by ((?) see below) the Lord (just as when he first instituted the supper), 1Co 10:21 (but it seems more natural to take the genitives δαιμονίων and κυρίου simply as possessive (cf. Winers Grammar, 189 (178); Buttmann, § 127, 27), and to modify the above interpretation accordingly).
2. the table or stand of a money-changer, where he sits, exchanging different kinds of money for a fee (agio), and paying back with interest loans or deposits (Lysias, Isocrates, Demosthenes, Aristotle, Josephus, Plutarch, others): Mat 21:12; Mar 11:15; Joh 2:15; τό ἀργύριον διδόναι ἐπί (τήν) τράπεζαν, to put the money into a (the) bank at interest, Luk 19:23.
