It often implies a transfer of responsibility or authority, or the granting of a request. The term can be used in both literal and metaphorical contexts, such as handing over physical objects or entrusting someone with a task or role.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the act of giving or delivering something was often associated with social and legal obligations. The concept of "epididómi" would have been understood in the context of patron-client relationships, where patrons would grant favors or resources to clients, who in turn owed loyalty and service. This cultural backdrop highlights the significance of trust and responsibility inherent in the act of giving or delivering.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1909.htm">epi</a> and <a href="/greek/1325.htm">didómi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to give over, give way<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>delivered (1), gave (1), gave way (1), give (4), giving (1), handed (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 1929: ἐπιδίδωμι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐπιδίδωμι</span></span>: 3 person singular imperfect <span class="greek2">ἐπεδίδου</span>;
