The Key Word — ἐπιτάσσω, epitassōgenerated
The verb ἐπιτάσσω (*epitassō*) means 'to command' or 'to order.' It is an aorist active indicative verb, indicating a completed action performed by Jesus. This word conveys authority and instruction, as seen in contexts where Jesus gives commands, such as in Mark 1:27.
The use of this verb emphasizes Jesus' role as a leader who directs His followers, highlighting His authority in guiding the people during this miraculous event.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In the Berean Standard Bible, the verse uses directed, which aligns with the KJV's commanded and the ASV's commanded. Both translations reflect the authoritative nature of Jesus' instruction.
The translations diverge on the rendering of ἀνακλῖναι. The BSB and others use sit down, while the YLT opts for recline, reflecting different nuances of the action.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is ἐπέταξεν, He commanded, which governs the action of the sentence. The structure includes an indirect object αὐτοῖς, to them, and an infinitive phrase ἀνακλῖναι, to recline, indicating what the command entails.
The sentence is organized to show the action of Jesus directing His disciples and the subsequent action of the people reclining in groups, which is a common structure in Greek prose.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
ἐπιτάσσω appears in the Septuagint, often in contexts related to authority and command. It translates Hebrew words that convey similar meanings of giving orders or instructions.
The word χλωρός is used in the Septuagint to describe green grass, linking this verse to agricultural imagery found in the Old Testament, emphasizing the setting of the miracle.

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Et præcepit illis ut accumbere facerent omnes secundum contubernia super viride fnum.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word ἐπιτάσσω (*epitassō*) means to command or order. It is built from the prefix ἐπί (upon) and τάσσω (to arrange). The term appears in contexts where one is given a duty or charge, as seen in Luke 14:22 and Mark 1:27. It is synonymous with κελεύω (to command).

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

In itself it signifies nothing more than again, applied to what has either been previously mentioned or, when the whole discourse is looked at, must necessarily be .upplied.” Klotz ad Devar. ii. p. 219; [see Vaniéek p. 268]).

The Greek word ἀνακλίνω (i.e., *anaklino*) means to lean against or recline. It appears in various contexts, such as laying down (Lk 2:7) and causing others to recline at table (Mk 6:39). The passive form often conveys the idea of lying back or reclining, particularly at meals. Notably, Moulton & Milligan mention its common use in everyday speech, distinguishing it from classical forms.
ἀνα-κλίνω : fut. ἀνακλινῶ; 1 aor. ἀνέκλινα; Pass., 1 aor. ἀνεκλίθην;; fut. ἀνακλιθήσομαι; [fr. Hom. down]; to lean against, lean upon ; a. to lay down: twa, Lk. ii. 7 (ἐν (τῇ) φάτνῃ). b. to make or bid to recline: Mk. vi. 39 (ἐπέταξεν αὐτοῖς, sc. the disciples, ἀνακλῖναι [-κλιθῆναι L WH txt.] πάντας i.e. the people); Lk. ix 15 (T Tr WH κατέκλιναν) ; xii. 81. Pass. to lie back, recline, lie down: Mt. xiv. 19; of those reclining at table and at feasts, Lk. vii. 36 (RG); xiii. 29; Mt. viii. 11,—in the last two pass. used fig. of participation in future blessedness in the Messiah’s kingdom.
ἀνακλίνω. The NT writers use ἀνακλίνεσθαι, ““ἴο recline at a table,” instead of the classical mapa- and κατα-κλίνεσθαι, in a way which suggests that this usage was characteristic of the common speech, though we are unable to illustrate it. Sir W. M. Ramsay has drawn our attention to the fact that in the anti-Christian Society of Tekmoreioi at Pisidian Antioch the President was πρωτανακλίτης, who sits in the chief place at table, and he takes this as an indication that the ritual feast was moulded on the Eucharist. For such imitations as marking the pagan reaction about A.D. 304-13, see his Pauline and other Studies, p. 103 ff.

The Greek word πᾶς (i.e., *pas*) means 'all' or 'every' and appears in various forms, including masculine, feminine, and neuter. It is used in the New Testament to denote totality, as in 'all things' or 'every kind,' and can function as an adjective or pronoun. Notably, it can also imply 'the whole' when used with definite articles, as seen in verses like Matthew 28:18.

The Greek word ἐπί (epi) is a preposition that indicates a relationship of superposition, often translated as 'on,' 'upon,' or 'over.' It can govern the genitive, dative, or accusative cases, covering meanings related to place, time, authority, and various figurative uses. In the New Testament, it frequently appears with the accusative case, especially in contexts of motion or direction, such as in Matthew 14:28.

Light; the sun, (Gen. 41:45, 50), the great seat of sun-worship, called also Bethshemesh (Jer. 43:13) and Aven (Ezek. 30:17), stood on the east bank of the Nile, a few miles north of Memphis, and near Cairo, in the north-east. The Vulgate and the LXX. Versions have “Heliopolis” (“city of the sun”) instead of On in Genesis and of Aven in Ezekiel. The “city of destruction” Isaiah speaks of (19:18, marg. “of Heres;” Heb. ‘Ir-ha-heres, which some MSS. read Ir-ha-heres, i.e., “city of the sun”) may be the name given to On, the prophecy being that the time will come when that city which was known as the “city of the sun-god” shall become the “city of destruction” of the sun-god, i.e., when idolatry shall cease, and the worship…
(abode or city of the sun), a town of lower Egypt, called BETH-SHEMESH in (Jeremiah 43:13) On is better known under its Greek name Heliopolis. It was situated on the east side of the Pelusiac branch of the Nile, just below the point of the Delta, and about twenty miles northeast of Memphis. The chief object of worship at Heliopolis was the sun, whose temple, described by Strabo, is now only represented by the single beautiful obelisk, of red granite so feet 2 inches high above the pedestal which has stood for more than 4000 years, having been erected by Usirtesen, the second king of the twelfth dynasty. Heliopolis was anciently famous for its learning, and Eudoxus and Plato studied under its priests. The first mention of this place in the Bible is in the history of Joseph, to whom we read Pharaoh gave "to wife Asenath the daughter…

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

Counted over the 11 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.

χόρτος is a Greek word meaning grass or herbage, often referring to fodder for animals. It can denote an enclosed area for grazing, and is used in various New Testament passages including Matthew and John. The lexicons highlight its agricultural context, with some variations in emphasis on its meanings, such as 'pasture ground' or 'food generally'.

gras:
(1) chatsir, from a root meaning "greenness"; compare Arabic Khudra, which includes grasses and green vegetables (1Ki 18:5; 2Ki 19:26; Job 40:15; Ps 104:14, etc.). Isa 15:6 is translated in the King James Version "have," the Revised Version (British and American) "grass"; Pr 27:25, English Versions of the Bible "hay," margin "Hebrew grass"; Nu 11:5 English Versions of the Bible translates "leeks." It is a term for herbage in general.
Grass
(1.) Heb. hatsir, ripe grass fit for mowing (1 Kings 18:5; Job 40:15; Ps. 104:14). As the herbage rapidly fades under the scorching sun, it is used as an image of the brevity of human life (Isa. 40:6, 7; Ps. 90:5). In Num. 11:5 this word is rendered “leeks.”
(2.) Heb. deshe’, green grass (Gen. 1:11, 12; Isa. 66:14; Deut. 32:2). “The sickly and forced blades of grass which spring up on the flat…
Sometimes means any green herbage, Isa 15:6, and sometimes the usual food of cattle, Ps 104:14. The quick growth of grass, its tenderness, and its rapid combustion when dry, have furnished the sacred writers with some of their most appropriate illustrations, Ps 90:5,6 92:7 103:15,16 Isa 40:6-8 51:12 Jas 1:10 1Pe 1:24. All sorts of grass and small shrubs are still used in Syria for fuel, on account of the scarcity of wood, Mt 6:28-30. Travelers in that country often see grass growing on the housetops, the roofs…
