Another related Hebrew term is גָּעַר (ga'ar, Strong's 1605), which also means to rebuke or reprove, often used in contexts of divine or authoritative correction. These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of authoritative correction or disapproval, aligning with the New Testament usage of ἐπιτιμάω. Usage: The verb ἐπιτιμάω is used in the New Testament to describe instances where Jesus or others express strong disapproval or correction, often in the context of casting out demons, silencing opposition, or correcting behavior. Context: The term ἐπιτιμάω appears frequently in the New Testament, particularly in the Gospels, where it is used to describe Jesus' authoritative rebuke of both spiritual and natural forces. For example, in Matthew 8:26, Jesus "rebukes" the winds and the sea, demonstrating His authority over nature: "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was perfectly calm." Similarly, in Mark 1:25, Jesus rebukes an unclean spirit: "But Jesus rebuked the spirit. 'Be silent!' He said. 'Come out of him!'" This usage underscores Jesus' divine authority and power over the spiritual realm.
