Strong's Lexicon methistémi: To transfer, to change, to remove, to turn away Original Word: μεθίστημι Word Origin: From μετά (meta, meaning "with" or "after") and ἵστημι (histemi, meaning "to stand" or "to set") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves verbs like עָבַר (abar, meaning "to pass over" or "to transfer") and שָׁנָה (shanah, meaning "to change"). Usage: The verb "methistémi" primarily means to transfer or change the position of something or someone. It can imply a physical relocation, a change in status or condition, or a transformation in character or allegiance. In the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to describe spiritual or moral changes. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of transferring or changing one's status was significant, especially in contexts like citizenship, slavery, and religious conversion. The idea of transformation was also central to early Christian teachings, emphasizing the change from an old life to a new life in Christ.
