Strong's Lexicon parechó: To provide, to offer, to present, to cause Original Word: παρέχω Word Origin: From παρά (para, meaning "beside" or "alongside") and ἔχω (echō, meaning "to have" or "to hold"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "parechó," the concept of providing or offering can be seen in Hebrew words like יָשַׁע (yasha, meaning "to save" or "to deliver") and נָתַן (natan, meaning "to give"). Usage: The verb "parechó" is used in the New Testament to convey the act of providing or offering something to someone. It can also imply causing or bringing about a particular situation or condition. The term is often used in contexts where one person or entity is supplying or making available something to another. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of providing or offering was integral to social and economic interactions. Patronage systems were common, where patrons would provide resources or opportunities to clients in exchange for loyalty and service. This cultural backdrop helps illuminate the significance of "parechó" in the New Testament, where the provision is often seen as an act of grace or benevolence, reflecting God's provision for humanity.
