Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek καθίστημι does not have a direct one-to-one equivalent in Hebrew, but similar concepts can be found in Hebrew verbs like נָתַן (nathan, Strong's 5414), meaning "to give" or "to appoint," and קוּם (qum, Strong's 6965), meaning "to establish" or "to set up." These Hebrew terms reflect similar ideas of appointing or establishing someone or something in a particular role or state. Usage: καθίστημι is used in various contexts in the New Testament, often related to appointing or establishing someone in a position or role. It can also refer to causing a change in state or condition. Context: καθίστημι appears in several New Testament passages, illustrating its diverse applications. In Matthew 24:45, it is used in the context of appointing a faithful servant: "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household, to give them their food at the proper time?" Here, καθίστημι conveys the idea of entrusting responsibility and authority.
