Strong's Lexicon tithémi: To place, to set, to lay, to appoint, to establish Original Word: τίθημι Word Origin: A root word in Greek Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is שׂוּם (sum), which also means "to place" or "to set." Usage: The Greek verb "tithémi" primarily means "to place" or "to set." It is used in various contexts in the New Testament to convey the act of placing or setting something in a specific position or condition. This can refer to physical placement, such as laying down an object, or more abstract concepts, such as appointing someone to a position or establishing a principle or law. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of placing or setting something was significant in both everyday life and religious practices. Objects were placed in specific locations for worship, and people were appointed to roles within society and religious institutions. The use of "tithémi" in the New Testament often reflects these cultural practices, emphasizing the intentionality and authority behind actions and decisions.
