Strong’s Greek Lexicon
from a presumed compound of G5207 and a derivative of G5087; the placing as a son, i.e. adoption (figuratively, Christian sonship in respect to God):—adoption (of children, of sons).
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.
