It often implies a divine or authoritative decision, such as God's determination of events or roles. The term can also refer to setting limits or boundaries, both literal and metaphorical.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of setting boundaries was significant in both legal and philosophical contexts. Boundaries defined property, roles, and responsibilities. In a biblical context, "horizó" reflects the sovereignty of God in determining the course of history and the roles of individuals within His divine plan. This aligns with the Jewish understanding of God's providence and authority over creation.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>3724</b> <i>horízō</i> (from <i>horos</i>, "boundary, limit") – properly, to set boundaries (limits) – literally, "determine <i>horizons</i>" (<i>boundaries</i>).</p><p class="discovery"><a href="/greek/3724.htm">3724</a> <i>/horízō</i> ("designate limits, boundaries") refers to the Lord (literally) "horizoning" <i>all the physical scenes of life before creation</i>.
