Strong's Lexicon paratithémi: To place beside, to set before, to entrust, to commit Original Word: παρατίθημι Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: paratithémi Pronunciation: pah-rah-TEE-thay-mee Phonetic Spelling: (par-at-ith'-ay-mee) Definition: To place beside, to set before, to entrust, to commit Meaning: (a) I set (especially a meal) before, serve, (b) act. and mid: I deposit with, entrust to, (c) I bring forward, quote as evidence. Word Origin: From παρά (para, meaning "beside" or "alongside") and τίθημι (tithémi, meaning "to place" or "to set") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of entrusting or committing is reflected in several Hebrew words, such as "פָּקַד" (paqad, Strong's H6485), which can mean to appoint or entrust, and "שָׁמַר" (shamar, Strong's H8104), meaning to keep or guard. Usage: The verb "paratithémi" primarily means to place something beside or before someone, often in the context of entrusting or committing something to another's care. In the New Testament, it is used both in literal and metaphorical senses. Literally, it can refer to setting food before someone (e.g., serving a meal). Metaphorically, it is often used to describe the act of entrusting something valuable, such as teachings or one's spirit, to another person or to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the act of "paratithémi" carried significant weight, especially in legal and familial contexts. Entrusting something to another person implied a deep level of trust and responsibility. This cultural understanding is reflected in the New Testament, where the term is used to describe the transmission of teachings and the commitment of one's life or spirit to God.
