Word Origin: From the Greek words ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and πέμπω (pempo, meaning "to send").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "anapempó," the concept of sending or referring back can be seen in Hebrew words like שָׁלַח (shalach, Strong's H7971), which means "to send."

Usage: The verb "anapempó" is used in the New Testament to describe the action of sending something or someone back or up to a higher authority or place. It often implies a return or referral to a superior or original sender.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the Roman and Jewish legal systems of the first century, the act of sending someone back to a higher authority was a common practice. This could occur in legal proceedings where a case was referred to a higher court or official for further judgment. The concept of sending back or up also reflects the hierarchical nature of governance and communication in ancient times.
