Key Hebrew words related to promises include דָּבַר (dabar, meaning "to speak" or "to promise") and בְּרִית (berith, meaning "covenant").<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The verb "proepaggelló" is used to denote the act of making a promise or announcement in advance. It carries the connotation of a commitment or assurance given prior to the fulfillment of the promise. In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of God's promises, particularly those made in the Old Testament that find their fulfillment in the New Testament.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, promises and oaths were significant in both personal and legal contexts. A promise made beforehand was considered binding and carried a sense of obligation. In the Jewish tradition, the concept of divine promises was central, with God’s covenants and prophetic declarations forming the foundation of Israel's hope and faith. The New Testament writers often highlight the fulfillment of these divine promises in the person and work of Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4279</b> <i>proepaggéllomai</i> (from <a href="/greek/4253.htm">4253</a> <i>/pró</i>, "before" and <a href="/greek/1861.htm">1861</a> <i>/epaggéllō</i>, "to promise") – properly, promised <i>beforehand</i> (in advance);
