3.
(
# &
, 1929) signifies (a) “to give by handing, to hand” ( ,
“over”), e.g., Matt. 7:9, 10; Luke 4:17; 24:30, here of the Lord’s act in “handing” the
broken loaf to the two at Emmaus, an act which was the means of the revelation of
Himself as the crucified and risen Lord; the simple verb, No. 1, is used of His “handing”
the bread at the institution of the Lord’s Supper, Matt. 26:26; Mark 14:22; Luke 22:19;
this meaning of the verb
is found also in Acts 15:30, “they delivered”; (b) “to
give in, give way,” Acts 27:15,
RV
, “we gave way to it.” See

4.
(
&
, 3330), “to give a share of, impart” (
, “with”), as
distinct from “giving.” The apostle Paul speaks of “sharing” some spiritual gift with
Christians at Rome, Rom. 1:11, “that I may impart,” and exhorts those who minister in
things temporal, to do so as “sharing,” and that generously, 12:8, “he that giveth”; so in
Eph. 4:28; Luke 3:11; in 1 Thess. 2:8 he speaks of himself and his fellow missionaries as
having been well pleased to impart to the converts both God’s gospel and their own souls
(i.e., so “sharing” those with them as to spend themselves and spend out their lives for
them). See

one’s body to be burned, 1 Cor. 13:3; of Christ’s “giving” Himself up to death, Gal. 2:20;

(

7.
(
$&
, 5483) primarily denotes “to show favor or kindness,” as in
Gal. 3:18,
RV
, “hath granted” (
KJV
, “gave”); then, to “give” freely, bestow graciously; in
this sense it is used almost entirely of that which is “given” by God, Acts 27:24, “God
hath granted thee all them that sail with thee” (
RV
); in Rom. 8:32, “shall … freely give”;
1 Cor. 2:12, “are freely given”; Phil. 1:29, “it hath been granted” (said of believing on
Christ and suffering for Him); 2:9, “hath given” (said of the name of Jesus as “given” by
God); Philem. 22, “I shall be granted unto you” (
RV
). In Luke 7:21, it is said in regard to
the blind, upon whom Christ “bestowed” sight (
RV
). The only exceptions, in this sense of
the word, as to divinely imparted “gifts,” are Acts 3:14, of the “granting” of Barabbas by
Pilate to the Jews, and Acts 25:11, 16, of the “giving” up of a prisoner to his accusers or
to execution. See
