Berean Strong's Lexicon antitassó: To oppose, to resist, to set oneself against Original Word: ἀντιτάσσω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀντί (anti, meaning "against") and τάσσω (tassó, meaning "to arrange" or "to order"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of opposition or resistance can be found in Hebrew words such as: - H7854 (שָׂטָן, satan): Meaning "adversary" or "one who opposes." - H6145 (עָרַב, arav): Meaning "to oppose" or "to be hostile." Usage: The verb "antitassó" conveys the idea of actively opposing or resisting something or someone. It implies a deliberate and organized stance against an entity or force. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe opposition to divine authority or to God's will. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "tassó" was often associated with military or civic order, where individuals or groups were arranged in a structured manner. The prefix "anti-" adds the notion of opposition, suggesting a counter-arrangement or resistance. This term would have resonated with early Christians who were familiar with the military and political structures of their time, emphasizing the seriousness of opposing divine order. HELPS Word-studies 498 antitássomai (from 473 /antí, "opposite to, against" and 5021 /tássō, "arrange, order") – properly, "squared off" (opposite to); opposed to in principle and in practice. 498 /antitássomai ("to resist") means to "reject the entire make-up of something," i.e. its whole arrangement – from its very "set up" (organization) to the final way it is "ordered." [498 (antitássomai), a very old military term, was used for placing a soldier in a specific platoon (with a specific function) – i.e. in a definite order to attack or resist. Accordingly, 498 (antitássomai) is used in antiquity of organized resistance, like an army assuming a specific battle-array position to resist in "full alignment"; to disagree (oppose) intensely.] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom anti and tassó Definition to range in battle against, to set oneself against NASB Translation opposed (2), resist (1), resisted (1).
