kom -pakt ´, kom -pakt´ed ( חבר , ḥābhar , "to be joined"; συμβιβάζω , sumbibázō , "to raise up together"): "Compact" appears as translation of ḥābhar in Psalm 122:3 , "Jerus ... a city that is compact together" (well built, its breaches restored, walls complete, and separate from all around it); and "compacted" (sumbibazō ) occurs in the King James Version Ephesians 4:16 , "fitly joined together and compacted," the Revised Version (British and American) "fitly framed and knit together." In the Revised Version (British and American) "compacted" is also the translation of συνίστημι , sunı́stēmi , "to set together" (2 Peter 3:5 ), "an earth compacted out of water and amidst (margin, through) water," which suggests the idea of water as the primary material (compare Genesis 1:2 ).
