Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of lawfulness or permission in the Hebrew Bible is often expressed through terms like יָכֹל (yakol, Strong's Hebrew 3201), meaning "to be able" or "to have power," and רָשָׁה (rasha, Strong's Hebrew 7561), meaning "to permit" or "to allow." These terms convey similar ideas of capability and permission within the context of Hebrew law and custom. Usage: The word ἔξεστι is used in the New Testament to express the concept of permission or legality, often in the context of religious or civil law. It appears in various passages where questions of what is lawful or permissible are discussed. Context: The Greek term ἔξεστι appears frequently in the New Testament, often in discussions about the lawfulness of certain actions. It is used in contexts where Jesus or others are questioned about the legality of actions according to Jewish law or Roman authority. For example, in Matthew 12:2, the Pharisees question Jesus about the disciples plucking grain on the Sabbath: "When the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, 'Look, Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.'" Here, the term underscores the tension between Jesus' teachings and traditional interpretations of the law.
