Strong's Lexicon anorthoó: To restore, to set upright, to make straight again. Original Word: ἀνορθόω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: anorthoó Pronunciation: an-or-THO-o Phonetic Spelling: (an-orth-o'-o) Definition: To restore, to set upright, to make straight again. Meaning: I make upright (straight) again, rear again, restore. Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and ὀρθόω (orthoó, meaning "to straighten" or "to set right"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀνορθόω, the concept of restoration is prevalent in the Hebrew Scriptures. Words like שׁוּב (shuv, Strong's H7725), meaning "to return" or "to restore," capture a similar essence. Usage: The verb ἀνορθόω is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of restoring something to its original or proper condition. It implies a return to a state of wholeness or correctness, often after a period of decline or disorder. This term can be applied both physically, as in the healing of a body, and metaphorically, as in the restoration of spiritual or moral order. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of restoration was significant in both medical and architectural contexts. Physicians would "set straight" broken bones, while builders would "restore" structures to their intended form. In a Jewish context, the idea of restoration was deeply rooted in the prophetic hope for the renewal of Israel and the coming of the Messiah, who would restore God's people.
