Strong's Lexicon peritithémi: To place around, to put on, to clothe, to bestow Original Word: περιτίθημι Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: peritithémi Pronunciation: peh-ree-TITH-ay-mee Phonetic Spelling: (per-ee-tith'-ay-mee) Definition: I place or put around, clothe; fig: I bestow, confer. Meaning: The verb περιτίθημι primarily means "to place around" or "to put on." It can refer to the act of putting on clothing, a crown, or any object that encircles or adorns. Word Origin: From the Greek words περί (peri, meaning "around" or "about") and τίθημι (tithēmi, meaning "to place" or "to put"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek περιτίθημι does not have a direct one-to-one equivalent in Hebrew, but similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words related to clothing or adorning, such as עָטָה (ʿāṭāh, Strong's Hebrew 5844), which means "to wrap" or "to clothe," and עָנַד (ʿānadh, Strong's Hebrew 6029), meaning "to put on" or "to adorn." These Hebrew terms capture the essence of surrounding or adorning, akin to the Greek περιτίθημι. Usage: The term is used in the New Testament to describe actions such as putting on garments or placing a crown upon someone's head. It conveys the idea of surrounding or adorning with an object. Context: • The verb περιτίθημι appears in various contexts within the New Testament, often associated with the act of adorning or clothing. For instance, in the Gospel of Matthew, it is used to describe the soldiers placing a crown of thorns on Jesus' head: "And they twisted together a crown of thorns, set it on His head, and put a staff in His right hand. And they knelt down before Him and mocked Him, saying, 'Hail, King of the Jews!'" (Matthew 27:29, BSB). • The term also appears in the context of the parable of the Good Samaritan, where the Samaritan places the injured man on his own animal: "Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him" (Luke 10:34, BSB). Here, περιτίθημι conveys the act of placing the man onto the animal, indicating care and compassion. • In the broader biblical narrative, περιτίθημι can symbolize the act of bestowing honor or authority, as seen in the imagery of crowning. It reflects both physical and metaphorical acts of encircling or adorning, often with significant implications for the person involved.
