Strong's Lexicon hupotassó: To subject, to subordinate, to submit, to be under obedience Original Word: ὑποτάσσω Word Origin: From the preposition ὑπό (hupo, meaning "under") and τάσσω (tassó, meaning "to arrange" or "to order") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of submission in the Old Testament is often conveyed through words like כָּנַע (kaná, Strong's H3665), meaning "to humble" or "to subdue," and שָׁמַע (shamá, Strong's H8085), meaning "to hear" or "to obey." Usage: The verb "hupotassó" primarily means to arrange under, to subordinate, or to subject oneself. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe the relationship of submission or subordination, whether in a social, familial, or spiritual context. It implies a voluntary attitude of giving in, cooperating, assuming responsibility, and carrying a burden. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of submission was integral to the social order, particularly within the household. The paterfamilias (head of the family) held authority over the household, and members were expected to submit to his leadership. This cultural understanding of hierarchy and order is reflected in the New Testament's use of "hupotassó," especially in passages addressing family and community relationships. However, the Christian perspective introduced a transformative view of submission, emphasizing mutual respect and love, as exemplified by Christ's own submission to the Father.
