It is often used in the context of clothing or adorning someone with garments or items. In a broader sense, it can also mean to bestow or confer something upon someone, such as honor or responsibility.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, clothing and adornment were significant markers of social status and identity. The act of placing garments or items upon a person could symbolize honor, authority, or a change in status. In the biblical context, this action often carried spiritual or symbolic meaning, such as the bestowal of righteousness or the conferring of a divine calling.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4012.htm">peri</a> and <a href="/greek/5087.htm">tithémi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to place around<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bestow (1), put (5), put...around (2).<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 4060: περιτίθημι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">περιτίθημι</span></span>, 3 person plural <span class="greek2">περιτιθέασιν</span> (<a href="/interlinear/mark/15-17.htm">Mark 15:17</a>; see references in <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἐπιτίθημι</span></span>); 1 aorist <span class="greek2">περιέθηκα</span>; 2 aorist participle <span class="greek2">περιθείς</span>, <span class="greek2">περιθέντες</span>; from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> properly, <span class="accented">to place around, set about,</span> (cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">περί</span></span>, III. 1): <span class="greek2">τίνι</span> <span class="greek2">τί</span>, as <span class="greek2">φραγμόν</span> <span class="greek2">τῷ</span> <span class="greek2">ἀμπελῶνι</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/21-33.htm">Matthew 21:33</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/12-1.htm">Mark 12:1</a>; <span class="accented">to put</span> a garment on one, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/27-28.htm">Matthew 27:28</a>; <span class="greek2">στέφανον</span>, put on (encircle one's head with) a crown, <a href="/interlinear/mark/15-17.htm">Mark 15:17</a> (Sir. 6:31; <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, Alcib. 2, p. 151 a.); <span class="greek2">τί</span> <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, <span class="accented">to put</span> or <span class="accented">bind</span> one thing <span class="accented">around</span> another, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/27-48.htm">Matthew 27:48</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/15-36.htm">Mark 15:36</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/19-29.htm">John 19:29</a>. <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> tropically, <span class="greek2">τίνι</span> <span class="greek2">τί</span>, <span class="accented">to present, bestow, confer, a thing upon one</span> (so in classical Greek from <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> down, as <span class="greek2">ἐλευθερίαν</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> 3, 142; <span class="greek2">δόξαν</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Demosthenes</span>, p. 1417, 3; see <span class="abbreviation">Passow</span>, ii, p. 881f; (Liddell and Scott, under the word, II.); <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">ὄνομα</span>, Wis. 14:21; <span class="abbreviation">Thucydides</span> 4, 87): <span class="greek2">τιμήν</span>, <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/12-23.htm">1 Corinthians 12:23</a>; <a href="/interlinear/esther/1-20.htm">Esther 1:20</a>.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>to place around<p>From <a href="/greek/4012.htm">peri</a> and <a href="/greek/5087.htm">tithemi</a>; to place around; by implication, to present -- bestow upon, hedge round about, put about (on, upon), set about. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/4012.htm">peri</a> <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/5087.htm">tithemi</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>περιέθετο περιέθηκα περιεθηκαν περιέθηκαν περιέθηκάν περιέθηκας περιέθηκε περιεθηκεν περιέθηκεν περιετίθετο περιθείναι περιθείναί περιθεις περιθείς περιθεὶς περιθέμενος περιθεντες περιθέντες περιθέσθω περιθήσεις περιθήσεται περιθήσετε περιθήση περιθήσονται περιθήσουσι περίθου περιτιθεασιν περιτιθέασιν περιτιθείς περιτιθεμεν περιτίθεμεν periethekan periethēkan periéthekan periéthēkan perietheken periethēken periétheken periéthēken peritheis peritheìs perithentes perithéntes perititheasin peritithéasin peritithemen peritíthemen<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/matthew/21-33.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Matthew 21:33</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Verb -
