It often implies a deliberate and controlled action, such as lowering a person or object from a higher place to a lower one. This term is used in contexts where something is physically being moved downward, often with care or intention.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, the act of lowering or letting down could be associated with various activities, such as lowering a person on a stretcher, letting down a basket, or even lowering a boat into the water. The concept of lowering was significant in a culture where many activities, such as fishing or construction, required the careful handling of objects and people. The term reflects the practical aspects of daily life in the ancient Mediterranean world.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a> and hiémi (to send)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to let down<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>down (1), let...down (2), lowered (2), lowering* (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 2524: καθίημι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καθίημι</span></span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">καθῆκα</span>;
