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).]

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Greek and Hebrew terms, the concept of giving orders or commands in the Hebrew Bible is often expressed with words like צָוָה (tsavah, Strong's H6680), meaning "to command" or "to charge." This Hebrew term is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe God's commands to His people, similar to the authoritative instructions conveyed by διατάσσω in the New Testament.

Usage: The verb διατάσσω is used in the New Testament to convey the act of giving orders or instructions, often with a sense of authority or official mandate. It is used in contexts where a directive or command is issued, typically by someone in a position of authority.

Context: The Greek verb διατάσσω appears in several New Testament passages, illustrating its use in contexts of authoritative instruction or command. It is often employed to describe the act of giving orders or setting things in order according to a specific plan or purpose.

In the Berean Standard Bible, διατάσσω is translated in various ways, depending on the context:

- Acts 7:44: "Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony with them in the wilderness. It was made as God directed Moses, according to the pattern he had seen." Here, διατάσσω is used to describe God's directive to Moses regarding the construction of the tabernacle, emphasizing divine authority and precise instruction.

- 1 Corinthians 7:17: "Nevertheless, each one should live the life that the Lord has assigned to him and to which God has called him. This is what I prescribe in all the churches." In this passage, Paul uses διατάσσω to express the instructions he gives to the churches, highlighting the apostolic authority and the uniformity of his teaching.

- Luke 3:13: "Collect no more than you are authorized, he told them." John the Baptist uses διατάσσω to instruct tax collectors, emphasizing the ethical and moral boundaries of their duties.

The use of διατάσσω in these contexts underscores the importance of order, authority, and adherence to prescribed instructions, whether they are divine commands or apostolic teachings. It reflects a structured approach to life and faith, where directives are given and followed to maintain harmony and fulfill divine purposes.
