T., deponent middle ἐντέλλομαι; future ἐντελοῦμαι; 1 aorist ἐνετειλάμην; perfect 3 person singular ἐντέταλται (Act 13:47); the Sept. very often for öÄåÈÌä; to order, command to be done, enjoin: περί τίνος, Heb 11:22; ἐνετείλατο λέγων, Mat 15:4 (R T); τίνι, Act 1:2; (with λέγων added, Mat 17:9); with οὕτω added, Act 13:47; καθώς, (Mar 11:6 R L marginal reading); Joh 14:31 R G T; followed by an infinitive Mat 19:7; τίνι, followed by an infinitive (Buttmann, § 141, 2; 275 (237)), Joh 8:5 Rec.; τίνι, ἵνα (cf. Buttmann, 237 (204)), Mar 13:34 (Josephus, Antiquities 7, 14, 5; 8, 14, 2); τίνι τί, Mat 28:20; Mar 10:3; Joh 15:14; Joh 15:17; τίνι περί τίνος, the genitive of person, Mat 4:6; Luk 4:10, from Psa 90:11 ff (ff). διαθήκην ἐντέλλεσθαι πρός τινα, to command to be delivered to one, Heb 9:20; cf. ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ πρός λαόν αὐτοῦ, Sir 45:3; the phrase ἐντέλλεσθαι (τίνι) διαθήκην occurs also in Jos 23:16; Jdg 2:20; Jer 11:4; Psalm 110:9 (), but in another sense, as appears from the full expression διαθήκην, ἥν ἐνετείλατο ὑμῖν ποιεῖν, Deu 4:13.
