Strong's Lexicon propheró: To bring forth, to offer, to present Original Word: προφέρω Word Origin: From the Greek words πρό (pro, meaning "before" or "forward") and φέρω (pheró, meaning "to bring" or "to carry"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of offering or bringing forth is קָרַב (qarab, Strong's H7126), which means "to draw near" or "to present." Usage: The verb "propheró" is used in the New Testament to convey the action of bringing something forward, often in the context of offering or presenting. It can refer to both literal and figurative presentations, such as offering sacrifices or presenting oneself or one's actions before God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the act of offering or presenting was a significant part of religious and social practices. Offerings were made to deities in temples, and presenting gifts or tributes was a common way to show respect or allegiance. In the Jewish context, offerings were central to worship and atonement rituals, as prescribed in the Mosaic Law. The concept of bringing forth or offering oneself to God is deeply rooted in the Jewish tradition and is carried into the Christian understanding of living a life dedicated to God.
