Another related term is פָּקַד (paqad, Strong's Hebrew 6485), which can also imply giving orders or instructions. These Hebrew terms similarly emphasize the authoritative nature of the commands given by God or leaders within the biblical narrative. Usage: The verb ἐντέλλομαι is used in the New Testament to denote the act of giving a command or instruction, often with a sense of authority. It is typically used in contexts where a directive is given that requires obedience or adherence. Context: The Greek verb ἐντέλλομαι appears in several New Testament passages, often in the context of divine or authoritative commands. It is used to describe the instructions given by God, Jesus, or other figures of authority. For example, in Matthew 4:6, the devil quotes Scripture to Jesus, saying, "He will command His angels concerning You," illustrating the authoritative nature of divine commands. In Matthew 19:7, the Pharisees question Jesus about Moses' command regarding divorce, using ἐντέλλομαι to refer to the Mosaic Law. The term is also used in the context of Jesus' teachings and commandments, as seen in John 15:12, where Jesus instructs His disciples, "This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." The use of ἐντέλλομαι underscores the expectation of obedience to these commands, reflecting the authoritative and binding nature of the instructions given.
