Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From παρά (para, "beside") and ἵημι (hiēmi, "to send" or "to let go").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Greek and Hebrew terms, the concept of allowing or neglecting in the Hebrew Bible can be related to several Hebrew words. One such word is עָזַב (azab, Strong's Hebrew 5800), which means "to leave," "to forsake," or "to let go." Another related term is שָׁלַח (shalach, Strong's Hebrew 7971), meaning "to send" or "to let go." These Hebrew terms capture similar themes of release, permission, or neglect found in παρίημι.

Usage: In the New Testament, παρίημι is used in contexts where there is a sense of allowing or permitting something to happen, or in the sense of neglecting or overlooking.

Context: The Greek verb παρίημι appears in the New Testament with a nuanced range of meanings, primarily centered around the concepts of allowing, permitting, or neglecting. It is a compound word formed from the preposition παρά, meaning "beside" or "alongside," and the verb ἵημι, meaning "to send" or "to let go." This combination suggests a sense of letting something go by or allowing it to pass.

In the Berean Standard Bible, παρίημι is translated in contexts that reflect its core meanings. For example, it can be used to describe the act of permitting something to happen or allowing a situation to continue without intervention. This usage underscores a sense of intentionality in allowing events to unfold or in choosing not to intervene.

Theologically, παρίημι can be understood in the context of divine forbearance or human responsibility. It may reflect God's patience and allowance for human actions, or it may highlight a human tendency to neglect duties or responsibilities. The term invites reflection on the balance between divine sovereignty and human agency, as well as the moral implications of neglect or permissiveness.

In practical application, παρίημι challenges believers to consider what they permit or neglect in their spiritual lives. It calls for discernment in what is allowed to persist and what should be addressed or corrected. The term serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and intentionality in one's faith journey.
