It can also imply arranging or setting something in order. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts where sending or arranging is involved, whether it be sending a person, a message, or setting things in order.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, communication and the sending of messages or individuals were crucial for maintaining order and governance. The act of sending was not merely logistical but often carried significant authority and purpose, whether in military, political, or personal contexts. The use of "stelló" in the New Testament reflects these cultural practices, emphasizing the importance of order and intentionality in the early Christian communities.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. verb<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to arrange, prepare, gather up, hence to restrain<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>keep away (1), taking precaution (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 4724: στέλλω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">στέλλω</span></span>: (German <span class="foreign">stellen</span>; (cf.
