It implies a deliberate and purposeful joining or attachment, often with a sense of divine or authoritative allocation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of assigning by lot was a common practice, especially in matters of inheritance, property distribution, and even in selecting individuals for specific roles or duties. This method was often seen as a way to ensure fairness and divine will in decision-making processes. In the context of the New Testament, the use of "proskléroó" reflects the early Christian understanding of divine providence and the belief that God assigns roles and responsibilities within the body of Christ.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4314.htm">pros</a> and <a href="/greek/2820.htm">kléroó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to allot to<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>joined (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4345: προσκληρόω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">προσκληρόω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">προσκλήρω</span>: 1 aorist passive 3 person plural <span class="greek2">προσεκληρώθησαν</span>; <span class="accented">to add or assign to by lot, to allot</span>: <span class="greek2">προσεκληρώθησαν</span> <span class="greek2">τῷ</span> <span class="greek2">Παύλῳ</span>, <span class="accented">were allotted by God to Paul,</span> viz., as disciples, followers, <a href="/interlinear/acts/17-4.htm">Acts 17:4</a> (<span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, § 39, 2 at the end; others give it a middle force, <span class="accented">joined their lot to,</span> attached themselves to (<span class="abbreviation">A.
