Thayer's Expanded Definition

πρόκειμαι; (πρό (which see d. α.) and κεῖμαι): from Homer down;

1. properly, to lie or be placed before (a person or thing), or in front (often so in Greek writings).

2. to be set before, i. e., a. to be placed before the eyes, to lie in sight; to stand forth: with a predicate nominative, δεῖγμα, as an example, Jude 1:7 (καλόν ὑπόδειγμα σοι πρόκειται, Josephus, b. j. 6, 2, 1).

b. equivalent to to be appointed, destined: προκειμενη ἐλπίςt';, the hope open to us, offered, given, Hebrews 6:18; used of those things which by any appointment are destined to be done, borne, or attained by anyone; so προκειμενος ἀγών, Hebrews 12:1; προκειμενος χαρά, the destined joy (see ἀντί, 2 b.), ibid. 2 (the phrase τά ἆθλα προκεῖσθαι occurs often in secular writings from Herodotus down; cf. Bleek, Br. an die Hebrews 2:2, p. 268ff).

c. to be there, be present, be at hand (so that it can become actual or available): 2 Corinthians 8:12.

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

In Gnomon 93 (= BGU V. p. 34) it is laid down : τοῖς θάπτουσι τὰ ἱερὰ ζ ̣ω ̣̑[ια ] ο ̣ὐ ̣κ ̣ [ὲξ ]ὸν προ ̣φῃτεύειν οὐδὲ ναὸν κωμάζειν ο ̣[ὐ ]δὲ τρ ̣ε ̣ϕ ̣ε ̣ι ̣ν ̣ ι ̣̈̀ε ̣ρὰ [ζ ]ω ̣̑[ι ]α ̣.

An interesting ex. of the verb is quoted by Boll Offenbarung p. 137 n9. : π. κόσμου c. 1 ἡ ψυχὴ. . . θείῳ ψυχῆς ὄμματι τὰ θεῖα καταλαβοῦσα τοῖς τε ἀνθρώποις προφητεύουσα : see also his reff. to Reitzenstein Poimandres, particularly pp. 154 n.1, 203 f., and 220 ff.

The wrongly augmented form προεφήτευσεν is found in the LXX in 1 Kings 18:10 [MT 1 Samuel 18:10] A and Sirach 46:20, but has disappeared from the critical text of the NT : cf. Winer-Schmiedel Gr. p. 102.
