Usage: The verb ἐπιχέω is used in the context of pouring a liquid over something, often in a ceremonial or sacrificial sense. It can also imply an abundant or generous outpouring.

Context: The Greek verb ἐπιχέω appears in the New Testament in contexts that involve the act of pouring or anointing. This term is often associated with religious or ceremonial practices, where a liquid, such as oil or water, is poured over an object or person. The act of pouring can symbolize consecration, blessing, or purification.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἐπιχέω is used to describe actions that are both literal and metaphorical. For instance, it may refer to the pouring of oil in an anointing ceremony, signifying the setting apart of an individual for a divine purpose. The imagery of pouring is also used to convey the idea of abundance and generosity, as in the outpouring of God's blessings or Spirit.

The use of ἐπιχέω in the New Testament reflects the cultural and religious practices of the time, where pouring was a common ritual act. It underscores the importance of physical acts as expressions of spiritual truths and divine interactions.
