(1239) διαδίδωμι; future διαδιδώσω (Revelation 17:13 Rec. ); 1 aorist διέδωκα; 2 aorist imperative διάδος; passive, imperfect 3 person singular διεδίδοτο (Acts 4:35), for which L T Tr WH read διεδίδετο (see ἀποδίδωμι ); TGL διαδίδωμι.2

Its meaning is especially illustrated by Xenophon, Cyril 1, 3, 7 τὸν Κῦρον λαβόντα τῶν κρεῶν διαδιδόναι τοῖς... θεραπευταῖς... τοιαῦτα ἐποίει, ἕως διεδίδου πάντα ἃ ἔλαβε κρέα. TGL διαδίδωμι.3
2. to give over, deliver: τί τινι, Revelation 17:13; but here G L T Tr WH have restored διδόασι (cf. δίδωμι , at the beginning). TGL διαδίδωμι.4
(1240) διάδοχος, -ου, ὁ, ἡ, (διαδέχομαι), succeeding, a successor: Acts 24:27. (Sirach 46:1; [Sirach 48:8]; 2 Macc. 14:26; often in Greek writings from [Aesehylus and] Herodotus 5, 26 down.) TGL διάδοχος.2
(1241) διαζωννύω or διαζώννυμι: 1 aorist διέζωσα; 1 aorist middle διεζωσάμην; perfect passive participle διεζωσμένος; to bind or gird all around (διά; this force of the preposition appears in the tropical use of the verb in Plutarch, Brut. 31, 2 ὡς δ’ ἡ φλὸξ ῥυεῖσα καὶ διαζώσασα πανταχόθεν τὴν πόλιν διέλαμψε πολλή): ἑαυτόν, John 13:4; passive διαζώννυμαί τι to be girded: ᾧ (by attraction for ὁ [yet cf.

Winer's De verb. camp. etc. Part 5, p. 13. TGL διαζώννυμι.2
(1242) διαθήκη, -ης, ἡ, (διατίθημι); TGL διαθήκη.2
1. a disposition, arrangement, of any sort, which one wishes to be valid (German Verordnung, Willensverfϋgung): Galatians 3:15, where under the name of a man's disposition is meant specifically a testament, so far forth as it is a specimen and example of that disposition [cf. Meyer or Bp. Lightfoot at the passage]; especially the last disposal which one makes of his earthly possessions after his death, a testament or will (so in Greek writings from [Aristophanes], Plato, legg. 11, p. 922 c. following down): Hebrews 9:16 TGL διαθήκη.3
2. a compact, covenant (Aristophanes av. 440), very often in the Scriptures for בְּרִית (Vulg. testamentum ). For the word covenant is used to denote the close relationship which God entered into, first with Noah (Genesis 6:18; Genesis 9:9 [cf. Sir. 44:18]), then with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their posterity (Leviticus 26:42 [cf. 2 Macc. 1:2]), but especially with Abraham (Genesis 15:1-21 and Genesis 17:1-27), and afterward through Moses with the people of Israel (Exodus 24:1-18; Deuteronomy 5:2; Deuteronomy 28:69 (Deuteronomy 29:1)). By this last covenant the Israelites are bound to obey God's will as expressed and solemnly promulged in the Mosaic law; and he promises them his almighty protection and blessings of every kind in this world, but threatens transgressors with the severest punishments. Hence, in the N. T. we find mention of αἱ πλάκες τῆς διαθήκης (הַבְּרִית לוּחות, Deuteronomy 9:9, Deuteronomy 9:15), the tables of the law, on which the duties of the covenant were inscribed (Exodus 20:1-26); of ἡ κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθ. (הַבְּרִית אֲרון, Deuteronomy 10:8; Deuteronomy 31:9; Joshua 3:6, etc.), the ark of the covenant or law, in which those tables were deposited, Hebrews 9:4; Revelation 11:19; of ἡ διαθήκη περιτομῆς, the covenant of circumcision, made with Abraham, whose sign and seal was circumcision (Genesis 17:10), Acts 7:8; of τὸ αἷμα τῆς διαθήκης, the blood of the victims, by the shedding and sprinkling of which the Mosaic covenant was ratified, Hebrews 9:20 from Exodus 24:8; of αἱ διαθῆκαι, the covenants, one made with Abraham, the other through Moses with the Israelites, Romans 9:4 [L text Tr marginal reading ἡ διαθήκη] (Wis. 18:22; Sir. 44:11; 2 Macc. 8:15; Epistle of Barnabas 9; [cf. Winer's Grammar, 177 (166)]); of αἱ διαθῆκαι τῆς ἐπαγγελίας, the covenants to which the promise of salvation through the Messiah was annexed, Ephesians 2:12 (συνθῆκαι ἀγαθῶν ὑποσχέσεων, Wis. 12:21); for Christian salvation is the fulfillment of the divine promises annexed to those covenants, especially to that made with Abraham: Luke 1:72; Acts 3:25; Romans 11:27; Galatians 3:17 (where διαθήκη is God's arrangement, i. e. the promise made to Abraham). As the new and far more excellent bond of friendship which God in the Messiah's time would enter into with the people of Israel is called, חֲדָשָׁה בְּרִית, καινὴ διαθήκη (Jeremiah 38:31 (Jeremiah 31:31)) — which divine promise Christ has made good (Hebrews 8:8-10; Hebrews 10:16) — we find in the N. T. two distinct covenants spoken of, δύο διαθῆκαι (Galatians 4:24), namely, the Mosaic and the Christian, with the former of which (τῇ πρώτῃ διαθήκῃ, Hebrews 9:15, Hebrews 9:18, cf. Hebrews 8:9) the latter is contrasted, as καινὴ διαθήκη, Matthew 26:28; Mark 14:24 (in both passages in R G L [in Matthew in Tr also]); Luke 22:20 [WH reject the passage]; 1 Corinthians 11:25; 2 Corinthians 3:6; Hebrews 8:8; κρείττων διαθήκη, Hebrews 7:22; αἰώνιος διαθήκη, Hebrews 13:20; and Christ is called κρείττονος or καινῆς or νέας διαθήκης μεσίτης: Hebrews 8:6; Hebrews 9:15; Hebrews 12:24. This new covenant binds men to exercise faith in Christ, and God promises them grace and salvation eternal. This covenant Christ set up and ratified by undergoing death; hence, the phrases τὸ αἷμα τῆς καινῆς διαθήκης, τὸ αἷμα τῆς διαθήκης (see αἷμα sub at the end), [Hebrews 10:29]; τὸ αἷμά μου τῆς διαθήκης, my blood by the shedding of which the covenant is established, Matthew 26:28 T WH and Mark 14:24 T Tr WH (on two genitives after one noun cf. Matthiae, § 380, Anm. 1; Kühner, ii., p. 288f; [Jelf, § 543, 1, cf § 466; Winers Grammar, § 30, 3 Note 3; Buttmann, 155 (136)]). By metonymy of the contained for the container ἡ παλαιὰ διαθήκη is used in 2 Corinthians 3:14 of the sacred books of the O. T. because in them the conditions and principles of the older covenant were recorded. Finally must be noted the amphiboly or twofold use [cf. Philo de mut. nom. § 6] by which the writer to the Hebrews, in Hebrews 9:16, substitutes for the meaning covenant which διαθήκη bears elsewhere in the Epistle that of testament (see 1 above), and likens Christ to a testator — not only because the author regards eternal blessedness as an inheritance bequeathed by Christ, but also because he is endeavoring to show, both that the attainment of eternal salvation is made possible for the disciples of Christ by his death (Hebrews 9:15), and that even the Mosaic covenant had been consecrated by blood (Hebrews 9:18). This, apparently, led the Latin Vulgate to render διαθήκη wherever it occurs in the Bible [i. e. in the New Testament, not always in the Old Testament; see B. D. under the word Covenant, and B. D. American edition under the word Testament] by the word testamentum . TGL διαθήκη.4

a. the act or effect of him who gives, in such a sense that what he is said διδόναι (either absolutely or with the dative of person) he is conceived of as effecting, or as becoming its author. Hence, δίδωμι joined with a noun can often be changed into an active verb expressing the effecting of that which the noun denotes. Thus, διδόναι αἶνον τῷ θεῷ is equivalent to αἰνεῖν τὸν θεόν, Luke 18:43; ἀπόκρισίν τινι equivalent to ἀποκρίνεσθαι, John 1:22; John 19:9; ἐγκοπὴν δοῦναι τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ equivalent to ἐγκόπτειν τὸ εὐαγγ. to hinder (the progress of) the gospel, 1 Corinthians 9:12; ἐντολήν τινι equivalent to ἐντέλλεσθαί τινι John 11:57; John 12:49; John 13:34; 1 John 3:23; δόξαν τινί equivalent to δοξάζειν τινά (see δόξα , II.); ἐργασίαν, after the Latin operam dare , take pains, [A.

7. Joined with nouns denoting strength, faculty, power, virtue, δίδωμι (τινί τι) is equivalent to: to furnish, endue, (one with a thing): Luke 21:15 (δώσω ὑμῖν στόμα κ. σοφίαν); Acts 7:10; ἐξουσίαν, Matthew 9:8; Matthew 10:1; Luke 10:19; John 17:2; Revelation 2:26; Revelation 6:8; Revelation 13:7; διάνοιαν, 1 John 5:20; σύνεσιν, 2 Timothy 2:7; and in the very common phrase διδόναι τὸ πνεῦμα.

TGL δίδωμι.27

I. 4. c. aa. above], John 17:24; John 18:9; in these passages God is said to have given certain men to Christ, i. e. to have disposed them to acknowledge Christ as the author and medium of their salvation, and to enter into intimate relations with him, hence Christ calls them 'his own' (τὰ ἐμά, John 10:14). TGL δίδωμι.29

For in neither of these passages are we obliged, with many interpreters, to translate the word appointed, made, after the use of the Hebrew נָתַן; especially since in the second Paul seems wish to confirm the words quoted in Ephesians 4:8, ἔδωκε δόματα τοῖς ἀνθρώποις. Those in the church whom Christ has endued with gifts and functions for the common advantage the apostle reckons among the δόματα given by him after his ascension to heaven. TGL δίδωμι.33
