DefinitionShort: (figurative extension of meaning of χρίω ‘to anoint,’ not occurring in the NT) to assign a person to a task, with the implication of supernatural sanctions, blessing, and endowment
Glosses: ['to anoint', 'to assign', 'to appoint', 'assignment', 'appointment']
Comments: It is rare that one can employ a literal rendering of χρίω or χρῖσμα in such contexts as {S:04200401800014} and {S:06200202000006}, since ‘to pour oil upon someone’ as a means of conveying a supernatural blessing and endowment for a task is culturally very rare. A strictly literal rendering of χρίω or χρῖσμα as ‘to pour oil upon’ is likely to be interpreted either as an insult or as an event preparatory to setting a person on fire and thus to destroy or to torture. Accordingly, in place of a literal rendering of χρίω or χρῖσμα, it is often necessary to employ some such expression as ‘to be appointed by God’ or ‘to be given a special task by God.’
