- προβιβάζω
- προβιβάζω (Aristoph., Soph., Pla. et al.; PBad 39 II, 4 [IV A.D.]; Just., D. 90, 1) fut. 2 sg. προβιβάσεις Dt 6:7; 1 aor. προεβίβασα; pass. ptc. προβιβασθείς cause to come forward (Soph., Oed. Col. 180; Kaibel 947, 1) ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου προεβίβασαν Ἀλέξανδρον they made Alexander come out from the crowd Ac 19:33 v.l. ἡ δὲ προβιβασθεῖσα ὑπὸ τῆς μητρός but she, pushed forward by her mother Mt 14:8 (here many prefer the mng. ‘incite, urge on [beforehand], prompt’. But προβιβ. εἴς τι in places like X., Mem. 1, 5, 1 εἰς ἐγκράτειαν, Pla., Prot. 328b εἰς ἀρετήν, Musonius p. 60, 5 H. νέους εἰς φιλοσοφίαν means ‘lead on to’, ‘train in’. Even more compelling is usage in the LXX, where the word=‘instruct, teach, inculcate’: Ex 35:34; Dt 6:7; Just., D. 90, 1 ἡμᾶς … προβίβασον ἐκ τῶν γραφῶν). ‘Coached’ may best express the mng.—DELG s.v. βαίνω.
