Strong's Lexicon proseaó: To permit, to allow, to let Original Word: προσεάω Word Origin: From the preposition πρός (pros, meaning "toward" or "to") and the verb ἐάω (eáo, meaning "to allow" or "to permit"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves the root נָתַן (natan), meaning "to give" or "to allow," as seen in contexts where permission or allowance is granted. Usage: The verb προσεάω (proseaó) is used in the context of allowing or permitting something to happen. It conveys the idea of granting permission or giving consent for an action or event. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts where permission is granted for someone to approach or engage in a particular activity. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of permission was significant in both legal and social contexts. Authority figures, such as rulers, judges, or household heads, often had the power to permit or deny actions. This cultural backdrop highlights the importance of understanding the dynamics of authority and permission in biblical narratives.
