Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for χρηματίζω, similar concepts of divine communication can be found in Hebrew words such as נָבָא (naba, Strong's 5012), meaning "to prophesy," and דָּבַר (dabar, Strong's 1696), meaning "to speak" or "to declare," often used in the context of God speaking to His people. These terms reflect the broader biblical theme of God communicating His will and guidance to humanity. Usage: • The term is used in the New Testament to describe divine communication or instruction, often through a vision or revelation. Context: • Chrematizō appears in several New Testament passages, often indicating a form of divine communication or instruction. It is used to describe how God or an angel communicates a message or directive to individuals. For example, in Matthew 2:12, the Magi are "warned in a dream" not to return to Herod, illustrating a divine intervention through a dream. Similarly, in Acts 10:22, Cornelius is described as having been "divinely instructed" by a holy angel to send for Peter.
