Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and δίδωμι (didōmi, meaning "to give").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of handing over or delivering in the Hebrew Bible is often expressed with words like נָתַן (nathan, Strong's Hebrew 5414), which means "to give" or "to deliver." Another related term is מָסַר (masar, Strong's Hebrew 4560), meaning "to hand over" or "to deliver." These Hebrew terms capture similar themes of transfer and responsibility found in the Greek ἀναδίδωμι.

Usage: The term ἀναδίδωμι is used in the New Testament to describe the act of giving up or delivering something, often in the context of handing over authority, responsibility, or a physical object.

Context: The Greek verb ἀναδίδωμι appears in the New Testament to convey the action of handing over or delivering something to another party. This term is often used in contexts where a transfer of responsibility or authority is involved. For example, in the Berean Standard Bible, ἀναδίδωμι is used in Luke 4:17, where it describes the act of handing over the scroll of the prophet Isaiah to Jesus in the synagogue: "The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written."

The use of ἀναδίδωμι in the New Testament reflects a broader theological theme of divine authority and the transmission of sacred duties. It underscores the importance of rightful stewardship and the faithful transmission of God's word and commands. The act of handing over, as seen in the context of Jesus receiving the scroll, signifies the fulfillment of prophecy and the continuation of God's redemptive plan through Christ.

In a broader sense, ἀναδίδωμι can also be understood as a metaphor for the spiritual act of yielding oneself to God's will, reflecting a life of obedience and submission to divine authority. This aligns with the biblical principle of surrendering one's own desires in favor of God's purposes.
