Strong's Lexicon katatithémi: To lay down, to deposit, to set down, to place Original Word: κατατίθημι Word Origin: From the Greek words κατά (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and τίθημι (tithémi, meaning "to place" or "to set"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves the concept of placing or setting something down, such as נָתַן (nathan, Strong's H5414), which means "to give" or "to place." Usage: The verb κατατίθημι primarily means to lay down or to place something in a specific location. It can also imply the act of depositing or entrusting something to someone else. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts where something is being set down or entrusted for safekeeping. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greek world, the act of laying down or depositing something was often associated with trust and responsibility. This could involve physical objects, such as money or goods, being entrusted to another for safekeeping. In a broader sense, it could also refer to the laying down of one's life or plans, entrusting them to God's will. The concept of entrusting or depositing was significant in a culture where personal honor and trustworthiness were highly valued.
