primarily, "to separate," hence, "to be of opinion, approve, esteem," Rom 14:5, also "to determine, resolve, decree," is used in this sense in Act 3:13, Act 20:16, Act 25:25, Act 27:1, 1Co 2:2, 2Co 2:1, Tit 3:12. See CONDEMN, JUDGE, JUDGMENT, LAW, B, No. 2.
<2,,3724, horizo>
denotes "to bound to set a boundary" (Eng., "horizon"); hence, "to mark out definitely, determine;" it is translated "to determine" in Luk 22:22, of the foreordained pathway of Christ; Act 11:29, of a "determination" to send relief; Act 17:26, where it is used of fixing the bounds of seasons. In Act 2:23 the verb is translated "determinate," with reference to counsel. Here the verbal form might have been adhered to by the translation "determined;" that is to say, in the sense of "settled." In Rom 1:4 it is translated "declared," where the meaning is that Christ was marked out as the Son of God by His resurrection and that of others (see under DECLARE). In Act 10:42, Act 17:31 it has its other meaning of "ordain," that is, "to appoint by determined counsel." In Heb 4:7, it is translated "limiteth," but preferably in the RV, "defineth," with reference to a certain period; here again it approaches its primary meaning of marking out the bounds of. See DECLARE, No. 9, LIMIT ORDAIN.
