Strong's Lexicon entellomai: To command, to order, to charge Original Word: ἐντέλλομαι Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in") and the verb "τέλλω" (tello, meaning "to accomplish" or "to command"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with "entellomai" is צָוָה (tsavah, Strong's H6680), which also means to command or to charge. Usage: The Greek verb "entellomai" is used in the New Testament to denote the act of giving a command or instruction. It implies authority and the expectation of obedience from the one receiving the command. This term is often used in contexts where divine or authoritative instructions are given, highlighting the importance and seriousness of the command. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, commands were a common part of military, political, and social life. Authority figures, such as rulers, military leaders, and teachers, would issue commands to their subordinates or followers. In the Jewish context, the concept of commandments was deeply rooted in the Torah, where God's laws and instructions were given to guide the moral and spiritual life of His people. The use of "entellomai" in the New Testament often reflects this background, emphasizing the divine authority of Jesus and the apostles in their teachings.
