διαθήκη G1242

diathḗkē

dee-ath-ay'-kay

from διατίθεμαι; properly, a disposition, i.e. (specially) a contract (especially a devisory will):--covenant, testament.

Abbott–Smith

2. As in LXX (for בְּרִית) = cl. συνθήκη, a convention, arrangement, covenant (exc. in the disputed cases mentioned above, always between God and man, "perhaps with the feeling that the δια- compound was more suitable than the συν- for a covenant with God---συνθ. might suggest equal terms," MM, Exp., l.c.): Ga 3:15 (R, txt., but v. supr., and cf. Thayer, s.v.), He 9:16, 17 (R, mg., Westc., in l.,; Hatch, Essays, 47; but v. supr.), Mt 26:28, Mk 14:24, Lk 1:72, Ac 3:25 7:8, Ro 11:27 (LXX), II Co 3:14, Ga 3:17, He 7:22 8:6, ib. 9, 10 (LXX) 9:4, 15-17 ib. 20 (LXX) 10:16 (LXX), 29 12:24 13:20, Re 11:19; καινὴ δ., Mt 26:28, and Mk 14:24 (R, mg.), Lk 22:20, I Co 11:25, II Co 3:6, He 8:8 (LXX) 9:15; pl.
