Strong's Lexicon chrématizó: to warn, to instruct, to reveal, to be called Original Word: χρηματίζω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: chrématizó Pronunciation: khray-mat-ID-zo Phonetic Spelling: (khray-mat-id'-zo) Definition: (originally: I transact business), (a) act. of God: I warn; pass: I am warned by God (probably in response to an inquiry as to one's duty), (b) (I take a name from my public business, hence) I receive a name, am publicly called. Meaning: • To transact business, to deal with. • To give a response or answer, often in the context of a divine communication or oracle. • To be called or named. Word Origin: Derived from χρῆμα (chrēma), meaning "a thing" or "matter," often related to business or affairs. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for χρηματίζω, similar concepts of divine communication can be found in Hebrew words such as נָבָא (naba, Strong's 5012), meaning "to prophesy," and דָּבַר (dabar, Strong's 1696), meaning "to speak" or "to declare," often used in the context of God speaking to His people. These terms reflect the broader biblical theme of God communicating His will and guidance to humanity. Usage: • The term is used in the New Testament to describe divine communication or instruction, often through a vision or revelation. • It can also refer to being called or designated by a particular name or title. Context: • Chrematizō appears in several New Testament passages, often indicating a form of divine communication or instruction. It is used to describe how God or an angel communicates a message or directive to individuals. For example, in Matthew 2:12, the Magi are "warned in a dream" not to return to Herod, illustrating a divine intervention through a dream. Similarly, in Acts 10:22, Cornelius is described as having been "divinely instructed" by a holy angel to send for Peter. • The term also appears in contexts where individuals are given a specific name or title by divine decree. In Romans 7:3, the term is used to describe how a woman is "called" an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive, indicating a designation or naming based on a specific condition. • In Hebrews 8:5, the term is used to describe how Moses was "warned" by God when he was about to construct the tabernacle, emphasizing the importance of following divine instructions precisely. • The use of chrematizō underscores the belief in divine guidance and the importance of adhering to God's will as communicated through various means, whether dreams, visions, or direct messages.
