Strong's Lexicon prostassó: To command, to order, to direct Original Word: προστάσσω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: prostassó Pronunciation: pros-TAS-so Phonetic Spelling: (pros-tas'-so) Definition: To command, to order, to direct Meaning: (a) I instruct, command, (b) I appoint, assign. Word Origin: From the preposition "πρός" (pros, meaning "toward" or "in addition to") and the verb "τάσσω" (tassó, meaning "to arrange" or "to order"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of commanding or ordering is צָוָה (tsavah, Strong's H6680), which also conveys the idea of giving a directive or command. Usage: The verb "prostassó" is used in the New Testament to denote the act of giving a command or directive. It implies a sense of authority and expectation of obedience. The term is often used in contexts where a superior, such as a king or a leader, issues an order to subordinates. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of authority and command was well understood within the structures of military, political, and household settings. Commands were expected to be followed without question, reflecting the hierarchical nature of society. The use of "prostassó" in the New Testament reflects this cultural understanding of authority and obedience.
