προσάγω

προσάγω — proságō

προσάγω; 2 aorist προσήγαγον; 1 aorist passive προσηχθην (Mat 18:24 L Tr WH); from Homer down; the Sept. for הִקְרִיב, הִגִּישׁ, sometimes for הֵבִיא;

1. transitively, to lead to, bring (see πρός, IV. 1): τινα ὧδε, Luk 9:41; τινα τίνι, one to one (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 52, 4, 14), Mat 18:24 L Tr WH; Act 16:20; to open a way of access, τινα τῷ Θεῷ, for (A. V. to bring) one to God, i. e. to render one acceptable to God and assured of his grace (a figure borrowed from those who secure for one the privilege of an interview with the sovereign), 1Pe 3:18 (noteworthy is the use, without specification of the goal, in a forensic sense, to summon (to trial or punishment), Act 12:6 WH text (where others προάγω, which see 1)).

2. intransitively (see ἄγω, 4), to draw near to, approach (Jos 3:9; Jer 26:3, etc.): τίνι, Act 27:27 ((not WH marginal reading)), where Luke speaks in nautical style phenomenally, the land which the sailor is approaching seeming to approach him; cf. Kuinoel (or Wetstein) at the passage; (see προσανέχω 2, and προσαχέω).

STRONGS NT 4317: προσανέχωπροσανέχω;

1. to hold up besides.

2. intransitive, to rise up so as to approach, rise up toward: Act 27:27 Lachmann stereotyped edition (see προσάγω, and προσαχέω) — a sense found nowhere else.

STRONGS NT 4317: προσαχέω [προσαχέω, προσάχω, Doric for προσηχέω, to resound: Act 27:27 WH marginal reading (see their Appendix, p. 151; others προσάγειν, which see), of the roar of the surf as indicating nearness to land to sailors at night.]
