Strong's Lexicon diastelló: To instruct, to order, to command, to distinguish Original Word: διαστέλλω Word Origin: From διά (dia, meaning "through" or "thoroughly") and στέλλω (stelló, meaning "to set" or "to arrange") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "diastelló," the concept of giving a command or instruction can be related to Hebrew words like צָוָה (tsavah, Strong's H6680), meaning "to command." Usage: The verb "diastelló" primarily means to give a clear and distinct order or instruction. It conveys the sense of issuing a command with authority and clarity. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts where a specific directive is given, emphasizing the importance of the instruction and the need for it to be followed precisely. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, clear communication and authoritative instruction were vital in various aspects of life, from military commands to philosophical teachings. The use of "diastelló" in the New Testament reflects the importance of clear and authoritative guidance in the early Christian communities, where leaders needed to instruct believers in the ways of the faith amidst diverse cultural influences.

[1291 (diastéllomai) means "to command (charge) expressly"; "originally, . . .
