Strong's Lexicon epitagé: Command, order, directive, injunction Original Word: ἐπιταγή Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἐπιτάσσω (epitassō), meaning "to command" or "to order." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "epitagé," the concept of divine command is often expressed in the Hebrew Bible with words like מִצְוָה (mitzvah, Strong's H4687) meaning "commandment." Usage: The term "epitagé" refers to an authoritative command or directive, often implying a sense of obligation or duty. It is used in the New Testament to denote commands that carry divine authority, often associated with apostolic or divine instructions. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of authority and command was integral to societal structure, from military orders to civic duties. Commands were expected to be obeyed, reflecting the hierarchical nature of society. In the context of the New Testament, "epitagé" underscores the authority of God's word and the apostolic teachings, which were to be adhered to by the early Christian communities. HELPS Word-studies Cognate: 2003 epitagḗ (from 1909 /epí, "suitably on," intensifying 5021 /tássō, "arrange") – a command "fitting" to the situation, i.e. an order that arranges things so they build on (Gk epi) each other to achieve the needed goal. Thus 2003 /epitagḗ ("a structured command") also "stresses 'the authoritativeness of the command' " (Vine, Unger, White, NT, 112). See 2004 (epitassō).
