Berean Strong's Lexicon
epitassó: To command, to order, to charge

Original Word: ἐπιτάσσω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: epitassó
Pronunciation: eh-pee-TAS-so
Phonetic Spelling: (ep-ee-tas'-so)
Definition: To command, to order, to charge
Meaning: I give order, command, charge.

Word Origin: From the preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and the verb τάσσω (tassó, meaning "to arrange" or "to order").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves words like צָוָה (tsavah, Strong's H6680), which means "to command" or "to charge."

Usage: The Greek verb "epitassó" is used to denote the act of giving a command or order with authority. It implies a directive that is meant to be followed, often with a sense of urgency or necessity. In the New Testament, it is frequently used in contexts where Jesus or others in positions of authority issue commands, whether to people, nature, or spiritual entities.

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 social hierarchies. Commands were expected to be obeyed, reflecting the authority of the one who issued them. In the Jewish context, the authority to command was also seen in religious and familial settings, where leaders and elders would issue directives based on their roles and responsibilities.
