Strong's Lexicon prosanatithémi: To confer, to add, to consult Original Word: προσανατίθημι Word Origin: From the preposition πρός (pros, meaning "to" or "toward") and the verb ἀνατίθημι (anatithémi, meaning "to lay upon" or "to set forth"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "prosanatithémi," the concept of seeking counsel or advice is present in Hebrew Scriptures, often associated with words like יָעַץ (ya'ats, Strong's H3289) meaning "to advise" or "to counsel." Usage: The verb "prosanatithémi" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of conferring or consulting with someone, often in the context of seeking advice or approval. It implies a sense of adding to one's understanding or knowledge by engaging with others. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, consultation with others, especially those in authority or with expertise, was a common practice. This could occur in various contexts, such as legal matters, philosophical discussions, or religious teachings. The act of consulting was seen as a way to gain wisdom and ensure that one's actions were aligned with accepted norms or truths.
