STRONGS G1781:
ἐντέλλω: (τέλλω equivalent to τελέω); several times in the poets (Pindar Olymp. 7, 73) and the later writers (ἐντέταλκε, Josephus, Antiquities 7, 14, 5 [but Bekker ἐντετάλθαι]; καθὼς ἐντέταλταί σοι, passively, Sir. 7:31); generally, and so always in the N. T., deponent middle ἐντέλλομαι; future ἐντελοῦμαι; 1 aorist ἐνετειλάμην; perfect 3 person singular ἐντέταλται (Acts 13:47); Sept. very often for צִוָּה; to order, command to be done, enjoin: περί τινος, Hebrews 11:22; ἐνετείλατο λέγων, Matthew 15:4 [R T]; τινί, Acts 1:2; [with λέγων added, Matthew 17:9]; with οὕτω added, Acts 13:47; καθώς, [Mark 11:6 R L marginal reading]; John 14:31 R G T; followed by an infinitive Matthew 19:7; τινί, followed by an infinitive [Buttmann § 141, 2; 275 (237)], John 8:5 Rec.; τινί, ἵνα [cf. Buttmann, 237 (204)], Mark 13:34 (Josephus, Antiquities 7, 14, 5; 8, 14, 2); τινί τι, Matthew 28:20; Mark 10:3; John 15:14, 17; τινὶ περί τινος, the genitive of person, Matthew 4:6; Luke 4:10, from Psalm 90:11ff (Ps. 91:11ff). διαθήκην ἐντέλλεσθαι πρός τινα, to command to be delivered to one, Hebrews 9:20; cf. ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ πρὸς λαὸν αὐτοῦ, Sir. 45:3; the phrase ἐντέλλεσθαι (τινί) διαθήκην occurs also in Joshua 23:16; Judges 2:20; Jeremiah 11:4; Psalm 110:9 (Ps. 111:9), but in another sense, as appears from the full expression διαθήκην, ἢν ἐνετείλατο ὑμῖν ποιεῖν, Deuteronomy 4:13. [Synonym: see κελεύω, at the end.]
