Dictionaries :: Rehearse

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Rehearse:

re-hurs' (sum, dabhar, naghadh, tanah; anaggello): Usually means simply "to relate," "to tell," "to declare" (Ex 17:14; Jud 5:11; 1Sa 8:21; 17:31; Ac 14:27); with "rehearse from the beginning" in Ac 11:4 for archomai, "begin" (so the Revised Version (British and American)). the Revised Version (British and American) has preserved uniformity by translating anaggello by "rehearse" also in Ac 15:4, and has introduced "rehearse" as the translation of exegeomai, throughout (Lu 24:35; Ac 10:8; 15:12,14; 21:19), except in Joh 1:18 ("declare"). Sirach 19:7, the King James Version has "rehearse" for deuteroo, "repeat" (so the Revised Version (British and American)).
