Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀνατάσσομαι, the concept of arranging or setting in order can be related to Hebrew terms such as עָרַךְ (arak, Strong's Hebrew 6186), which means "to arrange" or "to set in order." This connection emphasizes the continuity of the biblical theme of orderliness across both the Old and New Testaments. Usage: The term ἀνατάσσομαι is used in the context of arranging or compiling information, often with a sense of organizing or setting in order. Context: The Greek verb ἀνατάσσομαι appears in the New Testament in contexts where there is a need to organize or compile information systematically. This term is notably used in the introduction to the Gospel of Luke, where the author describes his intention to compile an orderly account of the events that have been fulfilled among the believers. The use of ἀνατάσσομαι in this context underscores the careful and deliberate effort to present an accurate and structured narrative of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. In Luke 1:1-3 (BSB), the author states: "Many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by the initial eyewitnesses and servants of the word. Therefore, having carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus." This passage highlights the importance of ἀνατάσσομαι in the process of documenting the Gospel message, ensuring that the account is both reliable and accessible to the intended audience. The term reflects the broader biblical theme of order and clarity in the communication of divine truths.
