Usage: The verb "suntassó" is used in the New Testament to convey the act of arranging or ordering something in a structured manner. It often implies a directive or command given with authority. The term can be used in both a literal sense, such as organizing a group or task, and a figurative sense, such as giving instructions or commands. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of order and arrangement was highly valued, especially in military and governmental contexts. The verb "suntassó" would have been understood as a term denoting authority and structure, reflecting the hierarchical nature of society at the time. In the context of the New Testament, it often relates to the authoritative instructions given by Jesus or the apostles.
