Strong's Greek Lexiconfrom τερος teros (a watch; perhaps akin to <2334>); to guard (from loss or injury, properly, by keeping the eye upon; and thus differing from <5442>, which is properly to prevent escaping; and from <2892>, which implies a fortress or full military lines of apparatus), i.e. to note (a prophecy; figuratively, to fulfil a command); by implication, to detain (in custody; figuratively, to maintain); by extension, to withhold (for personal ends; figuratively, to keep unmarried); by extension, to withhold (for personal ends; figuratively, to keep unmarried):-hold fast, keep(-er), (pre-, re-)serve, watch. Owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for numbers 2717 and 3203-3302, which were therefore silently dropped out of the vocabulary and references as redundant. |
