Word Origin: Derived from χρῆμα (chrēma), meaning "a thing" or "matter," often related to business or affairs. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H1696 (דָּבַר, dabar): to speak, declare, converse, command, promise, warn, threaten, sing - H559 (אָמַר, amar): to say, speak, utter Usage: The verb "chrématizó" primarily means to give a divine command or admonition, to be warned by God, or to be called by a name or title. It is used in contexts where God communicates with individuals, often through dreams, visions, or direct revelation. The term can also imply being divinely instructed or warned about future events or actions. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, divine communication was a significant aspect of religious life. Oracles, dreams, and visions were considered legitimate means through which the divine interacted with humanity. In the Jewish and early Christian context, divine revelation was central to understanding God's will and guidance. The use of "chrématizó" in the New Testament reflects this cultural understanding of divine communication, emphasizing the authority and importance of God's instructions.
