T., deponent middle ἐντέλλομαι; future ἐντελοῦμαι; 1 aorist ἐνετειλάμην; perfect 3 person singular ἐντέταλται (Acts 13:47); the Sept. very often for צִוָּה; to order, command to be done, enjoin: περί τίνος, Heb 11:22; ἐνετείλατο λέγων, Mt 15:4 (R T); τίνι, Acts 1:2; (with λέγων added, Mt 17:9); with οὕτω added, Acts 13:47; καθώς, (Mk 11:6 R L marginal reading); Jn 14:31 R G T; followed by an infinitive Mt 19:7; τίνι, followed by an infinitive (Buttmann, § 141, 2; 275 (237)), Jn 8:5 Rec.; τίνι, ἵνα (cf.
