bē̇-stō´: The seven Hebrew words rendered by this term variously mean “to put†or “place,†“to giveâ€; “do,†“deposit,†as e.g. to locate chariots and horsemen in cities (); or give a blessing (). Four Greek words so translated signify “to give,†“to labor,†“to feed,†“to place aroundâ€; as συναÌγω, sunaÌgoÌ„, “to stow away goods†(); or ψωμιÌζω, psoÌ„mıÌzoÌ„, “give away†(). The term has richest significance in expressing God's abundant gift of grace and love, διÌδωμι, dıÌdoÌ„mi ( the King James Version; ).
