Strong's Lexicon peritithémi: To place around, to put on, to clothe, to bestow Original Word: περιτίθημι Word Origin: From the Greek words περί (peri, meaning "around") and τίθημι (tithémi, meaning "to place" or "to put"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves the verb לָבַשׁ (lavash), meaning "to clothe" or "to wear," as seen in passages like Genesis 41:42, where Joseph is clothed in fine garments by Pharaoh. Usage: The verb περιτίθημι primarily means to place something around or upon something else. It is often used in the context of clothing or adorning someone with garments or items. In a broader sense, it can also mean to bestow or confer something upon someone, such as honor or responsibility. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, clothing and adornment were significant markers of social status and identity. The act of placing garments or items upon a person could symbolize honor, authority, or a change in status. In the biblical context, this action often carried spiritual or symbolic meaning, such as the bestowal of righteousness or the conferring of a divine calling.
