epitithémi: To lay upon, to place upon, to put on

Original Word: ἐπιτίθημι
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: epitithémi
Pronunciation: eh-pee-TEE-thay-mee
Phonetic Spelling: (ep-ee-tith'-ay-mee)
Definition: To lay upon, to place upon, to put on
Meaning: I put, place upon, lay on; I add, give in addition.

Word Origin: From the preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "on") and τίθημι (tithémi, meaning "to place" or "to put").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is יָדַע (yada, Strong's H3045), which can mean to place or to lay hands upon, especially in the context of blessings or consecration.

Usage: The Greek verb "epitithémi" primarily means to place or lay something upon something else. It is used in various contexts in the New Testament, including the physical act of placing hands on someone, laying burdens, or metaphorically applying concepts or teachings. The term often conveys a sense of intentionality and purpose in the action of placing or imposing.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the cultural context of the New Testament, the act of laying hands on someone was significant in both Jewish and early Christian practices. It was a symbolic gesture used in blessings, healings, ordinations, and the impartation of the Holy Spirit. The laying on of hands was a way to convey authority, blessing, or healing power, reflecting a deep spiritual and communal connection.
