Strong's Lexicon epitrepó: To permit, to allow, to give leave Original Word: ἐπιτρέπω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: epitrepó Pronunciation: eh-pee-TREH-po Phonetic Spelling: (ep-ee-trep'-o) Definition: To permit, to allow, to give leave Meaning: I turn to, commit, entrust; I allow, yield, permit. Word Origin: From the preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "on" or "upon") and the verb τρέπω (trepo, meaning "to turn" or "to direct"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of permission is נָתַן (natan, Strong's H5414), meaning "to give" or "to allow." Usage: The verb ἐπιτρέπω (epitrepó) is used in the New Testament to convey the act of granting permission or allowing something to happen. It often implies a sense of authority or control, where one party grants permission to another. This term can be used in both secular and religious contexts, indicating a range of permissions from everyday activities to spiritual or doctrinal allowances. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of permission was closely tied to authority and hierarchy. Permission was often granted by those in positions of power, such as government officials, religious leaders, or heads of households. In Jewish culture, permission was also a significant concept, especially in the context of religious law and practices. The use of ἐπιτρέπω in the New Testament reflects these cultural understandings, often highlighting the authority of Jesus or the apostles in granting or withholding permission.
