Strong's Lexicon dethabar: Decree, command Original Word: דְּתָבָר Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic root דְּתַר (dethar), which is related to the concept of a decree or command. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is δόγμα (dogma), Strong's Greek #1378, which also refers to a decree or ordinance. Usage: The term "dethabar" is used to denote a formal decree or command, often issued by a king or ruling authority. It carries the weight of law and is expected to be obeyed by those under the authority of the issuer. In the context of the Bible, it often refers to decrees that have significant implications for the people of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, decrees were a common means by which rulers communicated their will to their subjects. These decrees could cover a wide range of topics, from administrative orders to religious edicts. The authority of a decree was absolute, and failure to comply could result in severe consequences. In the biblical narrative, decrees often intersect with the lives of God's people, sometimes posing challenges to their faith and obedience to God's law.
