Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for προσαγορεύω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew terms related to speaking or addressing, such as דָּבַר (dabar, Strong's Hebrew 1696), meaning "to speak" or "to declare," and קָרָא (qara, Strong's Hebrew 7121), meaning "to call" or "to proclaim." These Hebrew terms capture the essence of communication and addressing others, similar to the Greek προσαγορεύω.

Usage: The verb προσαγορεύω is used in the New Testament to denote the act of addressing someone, often with a formal or respectful greeting. It can also imply calling someone by a specific name or title.

Context: The Greek verb προσαγορεύω appears in the New Testament in contexts where individuals are addressed or greeted, often with a sense of formality or respect. This term is used to describe the act of speaking to someone directly, often with a specific title or name. In the cultural context of the New Testament, addressing someone by name or title was a significant act, reflecting social hierarchies and relationships.

In the Berean Standard Bible, προσαγορεύω is used in passages that highlight the importance of names and titles in communication. For example, in Acts 2:47, the early believers are described as "praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people," where the act of addressing or greeting one another in the community is implied as part of their fellowship and unity.

The use of προσαγορεύω underscores the importance of personal interaction and recognition within the early Christian communities. It reflects the cultural norms of the time, where addressing someone by name or title was a way to show respect and acknowledge their role or status.
