G4374 — προσφέρω
imperfect προσέφερον; 1 aorist προσήνεγκα; 2 aorist προσηνεγκον; perfect προσενήνοχα ([Heb 11:17]); passive, present προσφέρομαι; 1 aorist προσηνεχθην; (see references under the word φέρω); from (Pindar), Aeschylus, and Herodotus down; the Sept. often for הִקְרִיב, also for הֵבִיא, הִגִּישׁ, etc., sometimes also for הֶעֱלָה where offering sacrifices is spoken of (as [1Ki 18:36] Complutensian; [2Ch 29:7]; [Jer 14:12]);
1. to bring to, lead to: τινα τίνι, one to a person who can heal him or is ready to show him some other kindness, [Mat 4:24]; [Mat 8:16]; [Mat 9:2], [Mat 9:32]; [Mat 14:35]; [Mat 17:16]; [Mar 2:4] (namely, τινα) T WH Tr marginal reading; 10:13; [Luk 18:15]; passive, in [Mat 12:22] (where L WH text act.); R G T; ; — one to a person who is to judge him: [Luk 23:14]; τινα ἐπί τάς συναγωγάς καί τάς ἀρχάς, [Luk 12:11] (Winers Grammar, § 52, 3) (where T Tr text WH εἰσφέρωσιν). προσφέρω τί, to bring br present a thing, [Mat 25:20]; τί τίνι, to reach or hand a thing to one, [Mat 22:19]; [Luk 23:36] (here A. V. offering); τί τῷ στόματι τίνος, to put to, [Joh 19:29]; a thing to one that he may accept it, to offer: χρήματα, [Act 8:18]; δῶρα, [Mat 2:11]; used, as often in the Sept., of persons offering sacrifices, gifts, prayers to God (cf. Kurtz, Brief a. d. Hebrew, p. 154ff): τῷ Θεῷ σφάγια καί θυσίας, [Act 7:42]; θυσίαν, [Heb 11:4]; λατρείαν, [Joh 16:2]; προσφέρειν δῶρον or δῶρα namely, τῷ Θεῷ, [Mat 5:23], [Mat 5:24]; [Mat 8:4]; [Heb 8:3], [Heb 8:4]; [Heb 9:9]; θυσίαν, [Heb 10:12]; plural, [Heb 10:1], [Heb 10:11]; (passive, [Heb 10:2]; θυσίας (R G θυσίαν) καί προσφοράς (R G προσφοράν) καί ὁλοκαυτώματα καί περί ἁμαρτίας, ibid. 8); δῶρα τέ καί θυσίας ὑπέρ ἁμαρτιῶν, to expiate (see ὑπέρ, I. 4) sins, [Heb 5:1]; αἷμα ὑπέρ ἑαυτοῦ καί τῶν τοῦ λαοῦ ἀγνοημάτων, [Heb 9:7]; τήν προσφοράν ὑπέρ ἑνός ἑκάστου, passive, [Act 21:26]; προσφέρειν used absolutely (cf. Winer's Grammar, 593 (552)): περί τίνος, on account of (see περί, the passage cited β.), [Mar 1:44]; [Luk 5:14]; περί τοῦ λαοῦ περί (R G ὑπέρ (see περί, the passage cited δ.)) ἁμαρτιῶν, to offer expiatory sacrifices for the people, [Heb 5:3]; τινα, namely, τῷ Θεῷ, to offer up, i. e. immolate, one, [Heb 11:17]; ἑαυτόν, of Christ, [Heb 7:27] T Tr marginal reading WH marginal reading; ([Heb 9:14]),[Heb 9:25]; προσενεχθείς (the passive pointing to the fact that what he suffered was due to God's will) ibid. 28 (it is hardly to be found in native Greek writings used of offering sacrifices; but in Josephus, Antiquities 3, 9, 3, we have ἄρνα καί ἔριφον); πρός τινα (God) δέησις τέ καί ἱκετηρίας, [Heb 5:7] (προσφέρειν δέησιν, Achilles Tatius 7, 1; τῷ Θεῷ εὐχήν, Josephus, b. j. 3, 8, 3).
2. The passive with the dative signifies to be borne toward one, to attack, assail; then figuratively, to behave oneself toward one, deal with one: ὡς υἱοῖς ὑμῖν προσφέρεται ὁ Θεός, [Heb 12:7] (very often so in Attic writings from Thucydides and Xenophon down; Philo de Josepho § 10; de ebrietate § 16; Josephus, b. j. 7, 8, 1; Aelian v. h. 12, 27; Herodian, 1, 13, 14 (7 edition, Bekker)).
