Strong's Lexicon horizó: To determine, appoint, designate, or set boundaries. Original Word: ὁρίζω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: horizó Pronunciation: ho-REE-zo Phonetic Spelling: (hor-id'-zo) Definition: I separate, mark off by boundaries; I determine, appoint, designate. Meaning: To determine, appoint, or set a boundary; to decree or ordain. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ὅρος (horos), meaning "boundary" or "limit." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H2706 (חֹק, choq): Often translated as "statute" or "decree," this Hebrew word conveys the idea of a fixed or appointed law or boundary, similar to the concept of determination found in ὁρίζω. • H2710 (חָקַק, chaqaq): Meaning "to decree" or "to inscribe," this verb aligns with the notion of setting boundaries or making determinations, akin to the Greek ὁρίζω. These Hebrew entries reflect similar themes of divine determination and the establishment of boundaries or decrees, providing a cohesive understanding of God's sovereign actions throughout the biblical narrative. Usage: The verb ὁρίζω is used in the New Testament to convey the act of determining, appointing, or setting boundaries. It often refers to God's sovereign determination or appointment of events, roles, or outcomes. Context: The Greek verb ὁρίζω appears in several key New Testament passages, emphasizing the concept of divine determination and appointment. It is used to describe God's sovereign will in establishing boundaries and purposes for His creation and His people. • Acts 17:26 (BSB): "From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined (ὁρίζω) their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands." This passage highlights God's sovereign role in determining the times and places for nations, underscoring His control over history and geography. • Romans 1:4 (BSB): "and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord." Here, ὁρίζω is translated as "declared," indicating the divine appointment and confirmation of Jesus as the Son of God through His resurrection. • Luke 22:22 (BSB): "Indeed, the Son of Man will go as it has been determined (ὁρίζω), but woe to that man who betrays Him." This verse reflects the predetermined plan of God concerning the events leading to Jesus' crucifixion, while also acknowledging human responsibility. • Acts 10:42 (BSB): "And He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the One appointed (ὁρίζω) by God as judge of the living and the dead." This usage underscores Jesus' divine appointment as the ultimate judge, affirming His authority and role in God's redemptive plan. The use of ὁρίζω in these contexts emphasizes the theological concept of God's sovereignty and His active role in the unfolding of His divine purposes. It reflects a worldview where God is intimately involved in the details of creation and history, setting boundaries and appointing roles according to His will.
