STRONGS NT 478: ἀντικαθίστημι

ἀντικαθίστημι: 2 aorist ἀντικατεστην; (from Herodotus down); in the transitive tenses:

1. to put in place of another.

2. to place in opposition (to dispose troops, set an army in line of battle); in the intransitive tenses, to stand against, resist: Hebrews 12:4, (Thucydides 1, 62. 71).

Word Origin: From ἀντί (anti, meaning "against" or "opposite") and καθίστημι (kathistēmi, meaning "to set" or "to place").

• Strong's Hebrew 6965 (קוּם, qum): To arise, stand up, or establish, sometimes used in contexts of opposition or setting against.
• Strong's Hebrew 5975 (עָמַד, amad): To stand, remain, or endure, occasionally used in contexts of opposition or confrontation.

Usage: The term ἀντικαθίστημι is used in contexts where one thing is set in opposition to another or where one entity is replaced by another. It can imply a sense of opposition or substitution.

Context: The Greek term ἀντικαθίστημι appears in the New Testament in contexts that involve opposition or substitution. It is a compound word that combines the preposition ἀντί, meaning "against" or "in place of," with καθίστημι, which means "to set" or "to establish." This term is used to describe actions where one entity is set against another or where one thing is established in place of another. The concept of opposition is inherent in the term, suggesting a deliberate act of setting one thing against another. In the Berean Standard Bible, this term is translated in a way that reflects its nuanced meaning of opposition or replacement.

In the New Testament, the usage of ἀντικαθίστημι can be seen in contexts where there is a clear contrast or replacement involved. The term is not frequently used, but its occurrences are significant in understanding the dynamics of opposition or substitution in the biblical narrative. The term underscores the idea of a deliberate and purposeful setting against or replacing, often with a connotation of conflict or contrast.
