Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From διά (dia, meaning "through" or "across") and δίδωμι (didōmi, meaning "to give").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for διαδίδωμι, the concept of distribution and giving is prevalent in the Old Testament. Hebrew words such as נָתַן (nathan, Strong's 5414), meaning "to give," and חָלַק (chalaq, Strong's 2505), meaning "to divide" or "to apportion," capture similar ideas of sharing and distributing resources or responsibilities among people. These terms reflect the biblical principle of stewardship and the communal sharing of blessings.

Usage: The verb διαδίδωμι is used in the New Testament to describe the act of distributing or giving out, often in the context of sharing resources or responsibilities among a group.

Context: The Greek verb διαδίδωμι appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize the act of distribution or sharing. It is often used to describe the allocation of resources or responsibilities among individuals or groups. This term underscores the importance of communal sharing and the equitable distribution of goods, reflecting the early Christian community's values of generosity and mutual support.

In the Berean Standard Bible, διαδίδωμι is used in passages that highlight the practical aspects of Christian living, where believers are encouraged to share their possessions and support one another. For example, in the account of the feeding of the multitude, the act of distributing food is a demonstration of Jesus' compassion and provision (though the specific term διαδίδωμι may not be used in every account of this event, the concept of distribution is central).

The use of διαδίδωμι also extends to the spiritual realm, where the distribution of spiritual gifts and responsibilities is seen as a divine act, ensuring that the body of Christ functions effectively and harmoniously. This reflects the theological understanding that God is the ultimate giver, who distributes gifts according to His will for the edification of the church.
