It can also mean to expose or to declare openly. In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of explaining or expounding upon teachings or events, making them clear to an audience.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the act of explaining or expounding was a critical part of teaching and rhetoric. Philosophers and teachers would often "set forth" their ideas in public forums. In the Jewish tradition, rabbis and teachers of the law would expound upon the Scriptures, making them understandable to the people. This cultural context underscores the importance of clarity and understanding in communication, especially regarding spiritual truths.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">ek</a> and <a href="/greek/5087.htm">tithémi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to set forth, fig. to declare<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>explain (1), explained (1), explaining (1), set outside (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 1620: ἐκτίθημι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐκτίθημι</span></span>: 1 aorist passive participle <span class="greek2">ἐκτεθεις</span>;
