Strong's Lexicon epididómi: To give, to deliver, to hand over, to grant Original Word: ἐπιδίδωμι Word Origin: From the preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and δίδωμι (didómi, meaning "to give"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is נָתַן (natan), which means "to give" or "to deliver." Usage: The verb "epididómi" is used in the New Testament to convey the act of giving or delivering something to someone. It often implies a transfer of responsibility or authority, or the granting of a request. The term can be used in both literal and metaphorical contexts, such as handing over physical objects or entrusting someone with a task or role. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the act of giving or delivering something was often associated with social and legal obligations. The concept of "epididómi" would have been understood in the context of patron-client relationships, where patrons would grant favors or resources to clients, who in turn owed loyalty and service. This cultural backdrop highlights the significance of trust and responsibility inherent in the act of giving or delivering.
