It is often employed in contexts where an explanation or justification is sought, typically inquiring about the rationale behind an action or situation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, questioning and seeking understanding were integral to philosophical discourse and daily life. The use of διατί reflects a common practice of inquiry, which was essential for teaching and learning. In the Jewish context, questioning was also a key part of rabbinic teaching methods, encouraging deeper exploration of the Scriptures and God's will.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>another reading for <a href="/greek/1223.htm">dia</a> and <a href="/greek/5101.htm">tis</a>, q.v.<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 1302: διατί</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">διατί</span></span>, see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">διά</span></span>, B.
