Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of restoration and setting upright in the Hebrew Bible can be related to several Hebrew terms, though there is no direct one-to-one correspondence. Some related Hebrew words include: • חָזַק (chazaq, Strong's 2388): To strengthen, prevail, harden, be strong, become strong, be courageous, be firm, grow firm, be resolute. • שׁוּב (shuv, Strong's 7725): To return, turn back, restore, bring back. • קוּם (qum, Strong's 6965): To rise, arise, stand, stand up, establish, confirm. These Hebrew terms, like ἀνορθόω, convey themes of restoration, strengthening, and renewal, reflecting the consistent biblical narrative of God's redemptive work. Usage: The term ἀνορθόω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of restoring or strengthening something that has been weakened or damaged. It is often used in a metaphorical sense to refer to spiritual or moral restoration. Context: The Greek verb ἀνορθόω appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize restoration and renewal. It is used to describe both physical and spiritual acts of setting right what has been wronged or weakened. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀνορθόω is found in passages that highlight the transformative power of faith and divine intervention. For example, in Luke 13:13, Jesus heals a woman who had been crippled for eighteen years, and the text states, "Then He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight (ἀνορθόω) and began to glorify God." This passage illustrates the physical restoration that accompanies Jesus' miraculous works, symbolizing the broader spiritual restoration He offers. In Acts 15:16, the term is used in a prophetic context: "‘After this I will return and rebuild the fallen tent of David. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it (ἀνορθόω).’" Here, ἀνορθόω signifies the restoration of the Davidic kingdom, pointing to the eschatological hope of renewal and the fulfillment of God's promises. The use of ἀνορθόω in the New Testament underscores the theme of divine restoration, whether it be through physical healing, spiritual renewal, or the fulfillment of prophetic promises. It reflects the transformative power of God's intervention in the world, bringing about healing and renewal.
