It implies a sense of authority and expectation of obedience. The term is often used in contexts where a superior, such as a king or a leader, issues an order to subordinates.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of authority and command was well understood within the structures of military, political, and household settings. Commands were expected to be followed without question, reflecting the hierarchical nature of society. The use of "prostassó" in the New Testament reflects this cultural understanding of authority and obedience.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4367</b> <i>prostássō</i> (from <a href="/greek/4314.htm">4314</a> <i>/prós</i>, "move towards, <i>with</i>," which intensifies <a href="/greek/5021.htm">5021</a> <i>/tássō</i>, "to place, arrange") – properly, allot, emphasizing the <i>intention</i> of the one assigning (commanding). </p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><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/5021.htm">tassó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to place at, give a command<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>appointed (1), commanded (5), ordered (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 4367: προστάσσω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">προστάσσω</span></span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">προσέταξα</span>; perfect passive participle <span class="greek2">προστεταγμενος</span>; from (<span class="abbreviation">Aeschylus</span> and) <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> down; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">to assign or ascribe to, join to</span>. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">to enjoin, order, prescribe, command</span>: the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">צִוָּה</span>; absolutely <span class="greek2">καθώς</span> <span class="greek2">προσέταξε</span>, <a href="/interlinear/luke/5-14.htm">Luke 5:14</a>; with the dative of a person, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-24.htm">Matthew 1:24</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/21-6.htm">Matthew 21:6</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">T</span>; <span class="greek2">τί</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/8-4.htm">Matthew 8:4</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/1-44.htm">Mark 1:44</a>; <span class="greek2">τίνι</span> <span class="greek2">τί</span>, passive, <a href="/interlinear/acts/10-33.htm">Acts 10:33</a>; followed by an accusative with an infinitive <a href="/interlinear/acts/10-48.htm">Acts 10:48</a>; <span class="accented">to appoint, to define,</span> passive, <span class="greek2">προστετάγμενοι</span> <span class="greek2">καιροί</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/17-26.htm">Acts 17:26</a> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> (stereotype edition (larger edition, <span class="greek2">πρός</span> <span class="greek2">τεταγμένοι</span>)) <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>, for the <span class="manuref">Rec.</span> <span class="greek2">προτετάγμενοι</span>.
