dē̇ -tûr´min :

(1) "To resolve," "decide." This is the primary meaning of the word and it is also the one that is the most common. In the New Testament the Greek word κρίνω , krı́nō , is translated "determine," and it has the above meaning (Acts 20:16; Acts 25:25; 1 Corinthians 2:2 ). The word occurs frequently in the Old Testament with this meaning (see Exodus 21:22; 1 Samuel 20:7 , 1 Samuel 20:9 , 1 Samuel 20:33 ).

(2) "To decree," "ordain," "mark out." The Greek word that is rendered "determine" with this meaning is horı́zō . See DETERMINATE .

The Hebrew term ḥārac is translated "determine" with the above meaning; as "his days are determined" (Job 14:5 ); "a destruction is determined" (Isaiah 10:22 ); "desolations are determined" (Daniel 9:26 ). The Hebrew term mishpāṭ , which means "judgment" or "sentence," is translated "determination" in Zephaniah 3:8 .
