Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the preposition πρό (pro, meaning "before" or "forth") and the verb βάλλω (ballō, meaning "to throw" or "to cast").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for προβάλλω, the concept of proposing or putting forth can be related to Hebrew terms that involve presenting or offering, such as נָתַן (nathan, Strong's Hebrew 5414), meaning "to give" or "to put," which can carry a similar sense of presenting or offering something forward.

Usage: The term προβάλλω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of putting forth or proposing something, often in the context of presenting an idea or a question.

Context: The Greek verb προβάλλω appears in the New Testament in contexts where an individual or group is putting forth a proposal or presenting a question for consideration. This term is used to convey the act of projecting an idea or suggestion into a discussion or debate. In the Berean Standard Bible, προβάλλω is translated in a manner that reflects this sense of proposing or presenting.

An example of its usage can be found in Acts 19:33, where Alexander is "put forward" by the Jews during the uproar in Ephesus. The context suggests that Alexander was proposed or put forth to make a defense or explanation to the crowd. The act of putting someone forward in this manner indicates a deliberate and strategic proposal, aligning with the meaning of προβάλλω as to project or propose.

The use of προβάλλω in the New Testament highlights the importance of presenting ideas or individuals in a public or communal setting, often with the intent of influencing the outcome of a situation or discussion. This reflects the broader cultural and rhetorical practices of the time, where public speaking and debate were common means of persuasion and decision-making.
