<p> ''''' bē̇ ''''' - ''''' stō ''''' ´: 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 (&nbsp;1 Kings 10:26 ); or give a blessing (&nbsp;Exodus 32:29 ). Four Greek words so translated signify "to give," "to labor," "to feed," "to place around"; as συνάγω , <i> ''''' sunágō ''''' </i> , "to stow away goods" (&nbsp;Luke 12:17 ); or ψωμίζω , <i> ''''' psōmı́zō ''''' </i> , "give away" (&nbsp;1 Corinthians 13:3 ). The term has richest significance in expressing God's abundant gift of grace and love, δίδωμι , <i> ''''' dı́dōmi ''''' </i> (&nbsp;2 Corinthians 8:1 the King James Version; &nbsp; 1 John 3:1 ). </p>
