Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves terms related to turning or causing to turn, such as שׁוּב (shuv, "to turn back, return") or בּוֹשׁ (bosh, "to be ashamed").

Usage: The verb "entrepó" primarily means "to turn" or "to cause to turn." In the New Testament, it is often used in the sense of causing someone to feel shame or respect, or to have regard for someone. It can imply a turning of one's attention or attitude, often resulting in a change of behavior or perspective. The term can also denote a sense of reverence or respect, particularly in the context of relationships and social interactions.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, social dynamics were heavily influenced by concepts of honor and shame. The verb "entrepó" reflects this cultural context, where public perception and personal honor were significant. To "entrepó" someone could mean to bring them to a point of shame or to cause them to show respect, often in a way that would restore or maintain social harmony. This cultural understanding is reflected in the New Testament's use of the term, where it often involves moral or ethical implications.
