Strong's Lexicon epitassó: To command, to order, to charge Original Word: ἐπιτάσσω Word Origin: From the preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and the verb τάσσω (tassó, meaning "to arrange" or "to order"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves words like צָוָה (tsavah, Strong's H6680), which means "to command" or "to charge." Usage: The Greek verb "epitassó" is used to denote the act of giving a command or order with authority. It implies a directive that is meant to be followed, often with a sense of urgency or necessity. In the New Testament, it is frequently used in contexts where Jesus or others in positions of authority issue commands, whether to people, nature, or spiritual entities. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of authority and command was well understood within the structures of military, political, and social hierarchies. Commands were expected to be obeyed, reflecting the authority of the one who issued them. In the Jewish context, the authority to command was also seen in religious and familial settings, where leaders and elders would issue directives based on their roles and responsibilities. HELPS Word-studies 2004 epitássō (from 1909 /epí, "on, fitting," which intensifies 5021 /tássō, "to place, arrange") – properly, to command which appropriately "orders" things, i.e. assigns them where they belong so the parts "fit together."
