Strong's Lexicon kathizó: To sit, to set, to appoint, to settle Original Word: καθίζω Word Origin: From the Greek root κατά (kata, meaning "down") and ἵζω (hizō, meaning "to sit"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is יָשַׁב (yashab, Strong's H3427), which also means "to sit" or "to dwell." Usage: The verb καθίζω (kathizó) primarily means "to sit down" or "to cause to sit." It can also imply the act of appointing or establishing someone in a position or place. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts where individuals are seated, either physically or metaphorically, such as sitting in judgment or being appointed to a position of authority. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, sitting was often associated with teaching, authority, and judgment. Teachers would sit while instructing their students, and judges would sit while presiding over legal matters. The act of sitting could also symbolize rest, stability, and permanence. In the context of the New Testament, sitting is often linked to Jesus' authority and His role as a teacher and judge.
