Rehearse

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

rḗ - hûrs ´ ( שׂוּם , sūm , דּבר , dābhar , נגד , nāghadh , תּנה , tānāh ; ἀναγγέλλω , anaggéllō ): Usually means simply "to relate," "to tell," "to declare" ( Exodus 17:14; Judges 5:11; 1 Samuel 8:21; 1 Samuel 17:31; Acts 14:27 ); with "rehearse from the beginning" in Acts 11:4 for ἄρχομαι , árchomai , "begin" (so the Revised Version (British and American)). the Revised Version (British and American) has preserved uniformity by translating anaggellō by "rehearse" also in Acts 15:4 , and has introduced "rehearse" as the translation of ἐξηγέομαι , exēgéomai , throughout (Luke 24:35; Acts 10:8; Acts 15:12 , Acts 15:14; Acts 21:19 ), except in John 1:18 ("declare"). Sirach 19:7, the King James Version has "rehearse" for δεντερόω , deuteróō , "repeat" (so the Revised Version (British and American)).
