Overview:
Ortion is not a term or name found within the canonical texts of the Bible. It does not appear in the Berean Standard Bible or any other traditional biblical translations. As such, it is not recognized as a biblical figure, location, or concept within the established scriptural canon. However, for the purpose of this entry, we will explore potential areas where the term might be relevant or confused with other biblical elements.

Possible Associations:

1. Linguistic Similarities:
The term "Ortion" may be a misspelling or variation of other biblical names or terms. It is important to consider similar-sounding names or words that might be relevant. For example, "Orion" is a constellation mentioned in the Bible, specifically in the Book of Job and Amos. In Job 9:9 , it states, "He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south." This reference highlights God's sovereignty over the heavens and His creation of the stars.

2. Theological Concepts:
While "Ortion" itself is not a theological term, it is possible that it could be mistakenly associated with concepts such as "oration" or "oration prayer," which are significant in biblical contexts. Oration, or the act of speaking or praying aloud, is a common practice in biblical narratives. Public prayer and proclamation are seen throughout the Scriptures, such as in the prayers of Solomon at the dedication of the temple (1 Kings 8) or the public preaching of the apostles in the Book of Acts.

3. Cultural or Historical Context:
If "Ortion" is a term derived from extra-biblical sources or traditions, it may hold significance in certain cultural or historical contexts outside of the biblical canon. It is essential to differentiate between canonical scripture and apocryphal or non-canonical writings that may use similar terms.

Biblical Principles:

· God's Sovereignty: As seen in the mention of Orion in Job, the Bible emphasizes God's control and authority over all creation, including the celestial bodies. This serves as a reminder of His omnipotence and the order He established in the universe.

· The Power of Speech: The Bible frequently underscores the importance of words, whether in prayer, proclamation, or teaching. Proverbs 18:21 states, "Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit." This highlights the significance of how believers use their speech in alignment with God's will.

· Prayer and Worship: The act of oration in prayer and worship is a central theme in the Bible. Believers are encouraged to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17) and to worship God in spirit and truth (John 4:24).

Conclusion:
While "Ortion" does not have a direct biblical reference, exploring its potential connections to biblical themes and similar terms can provide insight into the broader scriptural narrative. Understanding the importance of God's creation, the power of speech, and the role of prayer and worship can enrich one's study of the Bible and its teachings.ORATOR; ORTION

or'-a-ter, o-ra'-shun: The word "orator" occurs twice:

(1) As the King James Version rendering of lachash; only Isaiah 3:3, "the eloquent orator," the King James Version margin "skilful of speech," where the Revised Version (British and American) rightly substitutes "the skillful enchanter." The word lachash is probably a mimetic word meaning "a hiss," "a whisper" and is used in the sense of "incantation" "charm." Hence, nebhon lachash means "skillful in incantation," "expert in magic." See DIVINATION; ENCHANTMENT.

(2) As the rendering of rhetor, the title applied to Tertullus, who appeared as the advocate of the Jewish accusers of Paul before Felix (Acts 24:1). The proceedings, as was generally the case in the provincial Roman courts, would probably be conducted in Latin, and under Roman modes of procedure, in which the parties would not be well versed; hence, the need of a professional advocate. Rhetor is here the equivalent of the older Greek sunegoros, "the prosecuting counsel," as opposed to the sundikos, "the defendant's advocate."

Oration occurs only in Acts 12:21: "Herod.... made an oration unto them" (edemegorei pros autous). The verb demegoreo, "to speak in an assembly" (from demos, "people," agoreuo, "to harangue"), is often found in classical Greek, generally in a bad sense (Latin concionari); here only in the New Testament.
