2. to appoint / to designate — To assign, designate, or set in order beforehand, implying preordination or official arrangement rather than a verbal directive. Used of times and seasons appointed by God (Acts 17:26). Rendered: Spanish 'senalados' (pointed out, designated), Hindi 'niyat' (नियत, fixed/appointed), Arabic 'mu'ayyana' (مُعَيَّنَةً, designated), Korean 'miri jeonghaejin' (미리 정해진, pre-determined), Swahili 'zilizopangwa' (arranged). The multilingual evidence consistently selects arrangement/designation vocabulary rather than command vocabulary, confirming a distinct sense. 1×
