Strong's Lexicon horizó: To determine, appoint, designate, or set boundaries. Original Word: ὁρίζω Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ὅρος (horos), meaning "boundary" or "limit." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of divine determination and setting boundaries can be related to Hebrew words such as גָּבַל (gabal - to set bounds) and חָקַק (chaqaq - to decree or inscribe). Usage: The verb "horizó" is used in the New Testament to convey the act of determining or appointing something according to a set purpose or boundary. It often implies a divine or authoritative decision, such as God's determination of events or roles. The term can also refer to setting limits or boundaries, both literal and metaphorical. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of setting boundaries was significant in both legal and philosophical contexts. Boundaries defined property, roles, and responsibilities. In a biblical context, "horizó" reflects the sovereignty of God in determining the course of history and the roles of individuals within His divine plan. This aligns with the Jewish understanding of God's providence and authority over creation. HELPS Word-studies 3724 horízō (from horos, "boundary, limit") – properly, to set boundaries (limits) – literally, "determine horizons" (boundaries). 3724 /horízō ("designate limits, boundaries") refers to the Lord (literally) "horizoning" all the physical scenes of life before creation. This guarantees God works each in conjunction with His eternal purpose (providence, see 4286 /próthesis). [The English term "horizon" ("horizoning") comes from 3724 (horízō), "to set limits." 4309 /proorízō ("pre-horizon, pre-determine") emphasizes God's eternality with its correlations, as operating in His perfect wisdom, absolute foreknowledge, etc.).] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom the same as horion Definition to mark off by boundaries, to determine NASB Translation appointed (2), declared (1), determined (3), fixes (1), predetermined (1).
