Strong's Lexicon diatassó: To arrange, to order, to command, to direct Original Word: διατάσσω Word Origin: From the Greek words διά (dia, meaning "through" or "across") and τάσσω (tassó, meaning "to arrange" or "to order"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for διατάσσω, similar concepts of command and order can be found in Hebrew words such as צָוָה (tsavah, Strong's H6680), meaning "to command" or "to order." Usage: The verb διατάσσω (diatassó) is used in the New Testament to convey the act of arranging or ordering something according to a plan or command. It often implies a sense of authority and structure, where instructions or commands are given to be followed. This term is used in contexts where directives are issued, whether by God, Jesus, or human authorities, to ensure that certain actions are carried out in an orderly manner. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of order and command was integral to both military and civic life. The term διατάσσω would have been familiar in contexts such as military orders, legal decrees, and household management. In the Jewish context, the idea of divine commandments and the orderly conduct of religious practices were central to the faith community. Thus, the use of διατάσσω in the New Testament reflects both the cultural importance of order and the theological emphasis on divine authority and instruction. HELPS Word-studies 1299 diatássō (from 1223 /diá, "through, thoroughly," intensifying 5021 /tássō, "to order, appoint") – properly, systematically order – literally, "all the way through (thoroughly) arrange." 1299 /diatássō ("to command with detailed instructions") means to issue a command with full authority because it takes into account all that is necessary to lay down a proper order. [Such an order also goes through all the necessary proper "chain-of-command," which further underlines its binding (authoritative) nature. This root (diata-) implies detailed orders which typically relate to chain-of-command situations (see WP at Mt 11:1).] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom dia and tassó Definition to arrange thoroughly, i.e. to charge, appoint NASB Translation arrange (1), arranged (1), commanded (3), direct (1), directed (4), gave orders (2), giving instructions (1), ordained (1), ordered (1), orders (1).
