Berean Strong's Lexicon prosdapanaó: To spend further, to incur additional expense Original Word: προσδαπανάω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "πρός" (pros, meaning "toward" or "in addition to") and the verb "δαπανάω" (dapanaó, meaning "to spend" or "to expend"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for προσδαπανάω, the concept of spending or expending resources can be related to Hebrew terms like "כָּלָה" (kalah, meaning "to finish" or "to complete") and "יָצָא" (yatsa, meaning "to go out" or "to come forth"), which can imply the use or expenditure of resources. Usage: The verb προσδαπανάω is used to describe the act of incurring additional expenses or spending further resources. It implies a continuation or an increase in expenditure, often in the context of providing for needs or supporting a cause. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, financial transactions and the management of resources were integral to daily life. The concept of spending, especially in terms of hospitality, charity, and communal support, was significant in both Jewish and early Christian communities. The use of προσδαπανάω reflects the practical aspects of stewardship and the willingness to invest resources for the benefit of others.
