Berean Strong's Lexicon epitropé: Permission, authority, charge Original Word: ἐπιτροπή Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἐπιτρέπω (epitrepō), meaning "to permit" or "to allow." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of "epitropé" can be related to the Hebrew word שָׁלִיט (shalit), meaning "ruler" or "governor," which conveys a similar idea of authority or control. Usage: The term "epitropé" refers to the act of granting permission or authority to someone. It implies a delegation of responsibility or the granting of rights to act on behalf of another. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the authority or permission given by one party to another, often in the context of governance or stewardship. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "epitropé" was significant in legal and social contexts. It was common for individuals to delegate authority to others, whether in managing estates, conducting business, or governing regions. This delegation was often formalized through legal documents or verbal agreements, reflecting the hierarchical nature of ancient societies.
