34.23 · Association · Join, Begin To Associate
to undertake to join with, to seek association with to take the initiative in association with someone Though it is also true that Jews were not allowed to continue to associate with Gentiles, the focus of προσέρχομαι[b] in ACT 10:28 appears to be upon the initiative which could not be taken by a Jew in approaching a Gentile in order to be associated in some activity which would be contrary to ritual observances. προσέρχομαι in this context may therefore be rendered in some languages as 'to join arms with a Gentile, ́ 'to link oneself with a Gentile, ́ or 'to become a close friend of a Gentile. ́

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
προσέρχομαι. The semi-technical use of this verb of the approach of the worshipper to God is frequent in the LXX, and is found septies in Heb, twice (10! 33) without an obj. : cf. P Giss I. 204 (beg. ii/a.p.) (= Chrest. I. p. 124) ἀξιώσεις ody δίστιXov αὐτῶι γραφῆναι, ἵνα ἀξίως σου kal τῶν θεῶν ἀόκνως προσέλθῃ, of worship to be performed at a private shrine of the Dioscuri. See also Dio Cassius ἵν]. 9 τοῖς θεοῖς προσερχώμεθα. The verb is similarly used of approach to a court in P Oxy VIII. rr1g® (A.D. 254) προσήλθομεν τῇ κρατίστῃ βουλῇ. Other exx. of προσέρχομαι c. dat. are P Oxy I. 7622 (A.D. 179) οὐκ οὖσα δὲ προαιρέσεως προσέρχεσθαι τῇ τούτου κληρονομίᾳ, ‘Cas I have no intention of entering on his inheritance ’’ (Edd.) (cf. adire hereditatem), and P Ryl II. 2348 (ii/A.D.) per’ dJACyov δέ μου προσελθόντος τῷ y[pap]paret. The absol. use is seen in P Oxy I. 40* (ii/iii A.D.) προσελθ[ό]ντίος Ψάσνι]ος kal εἰπόντος, ‘* Psasnis appeared and said.” No adequate parallel has yet been found to the meaning “consent to” required by the context in 1 Tim 6%: Field (Wores, p. 211) appears to favour Bentley’s conjecture προσἔχει for προσέρχεται, but see Parry ad . A proverbial phrase is found in a new Comic Fragment (P Berol 9941" 1) —bvos προσέρχεται (of one coming to a vacant seat at a banquet).
