be-sto: The seven Hebrew words rendered by this term variously mean to put or place, to give; do, deposit, as e.g. to locate chariots and horsemen in cities (1Ki 10:26); or give a blessing (Exo 32:29). Four Greek words so translated signify to give, to labor, to feed, to place around; as , sunago, to stow away goods (Luk 12:17); or , psomzo, give away (1Co 13:3). The term has richest significance in expressing God’s abundant gift of grace and love, , ddomi (2Co 8:1 the King James Version; 1Jo 3:1).<\/p>\n
“to give,” is rendered “bestow” in 1Jo 3:1<\/span>, the implied idea being that of giving freely. The AV has it in 2Co 8:1<\/span>; the RV adheres to the lit. rendering, “the grace of God which hath been given in the churches of Macedonia.” See ADVENTURE and especially GIVE. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to bring together” (sun, “together,” ago, “to bring”), is used in the sense of “bestowing,” or stowing, by the rich man who laid up his goods for himself, Luk 12:17-18<\/span>. See ASSEMBLE, COME, GATHER, LEAD, RESORT, TAKE. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n (a) “to grow tired with toil,” Mat 11:28<\/span>; Joh 4:6<\/span>; Rev 2:3<\/span>, also means (b) “to bestow labor, work with toil,” Rom 16:6<\/span>; Gal 4:11<\/span>; in Joh 4:38<\/span>, AV, “bestowed (no) labor,” RV, “have (not) labored,” and, in the same verse, AV and RV, “labored.” See LABOR, TOIL, WEARY. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n primarily “to feed by putting little bits into the mouths of infants or animals,” came to denote simply “to give out food, to feed,” and is rendered by the phrase “bestow … to feed” in 1Co 13:3<\/span>; “feed,” Rom 12:20<\/span>; there the person to be fed is mentioned; in 1Co 13:3<\/span> the material to be given is specified, and the rendering “bestow … to feed” is necessary. See FEED. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to put around or on” (peri, “around,” tithemi, “to put”), is translated in 1Co 12:23<\/span> (metaphorically) “bestow” (marg., “put on”). See PUT, SET, No. 5. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n “to show favor, grant, bestow,” is rendered “bestowed” in Luk 7:21<\/span>, RV, for AV, “gave.” Here and in Gal 3:18<\/span>, the verb might be translated “graciously conferred.” See DELIVER, FORGIVE, GIVE, GRANT. <\/p>\n Note: For “freely bestowed” see ACCEPT, A, Note. <\/p>\n Bestow be-sto: The seven Hebrew words rendered by this term variously mean to put or place, to give; do, deposit, as e.g. to locate chariots and horsemen in cities (1Ki 10:26); or give a blessing (Exo 32:29).
