Thayer's Greek Lexicon
διατίθημι: to place separately, dispose, arrange, appoint, (cf. διά, C. 3). In the N. T. only in the middle, present διατίθεμαι; 2 aorist διεθέμην; future διαθήσομαι;
1. to arrange, dispose of, one’s own affairs;
a. τί, of something that belongs to one (often so in secular authors from Xenophon down); with the dative of person added, in one’s favor, to one’s advantage; hence, to assign a thing to another as his possession: τίνι βασιλείαν (to appoint), Luk 22:29.
b. to dispose of by will, make a testament: Heb 9:16 f; (Plato, legg. 11, p. 924 e.; with διαθήκην added, ibid., p. 923 c., etc.).
2. διατίθεμαι διαθήκην τίνι (ôÌ àÆú áÂÌøÄéú ëÈÌøÇú, Jeremiah 38:31ff (ff)), to make a covenant, enter into covenant, with one, (cf. Winers Grammar, 225 (211); Buttmann, 148 (129f)): Heb 8:10, (Gen 15:18); πρός τινα, Act 3:25; Heb 10:16 (Deu 7:2); μετά τίνος, 1Ma 1:11. The Greeks said συντίθεμαι πρός τινα, αἱ πρός τινα συνθηκαι, Xenophon, Cyril 3, 1, 21. (Compare: ἀντιδιατίθημι.)
