| Summary: | δεκτός in Acts 10:35 may be understood as a term from the Jewish purity and consecration system. With a high degree of consistency, Hebrew רצון and רצה are rendered in cultic contexts in the LXX with words of the δεκ- lexeme. While verbs of the δεκ- lexeme are not uncommon prior to the LXX, adjectives of the δεκ-lexeme are uncommon outside of the LXX prior to the NT, establishing the use of δεκ- adjectives in the LXX as the primary context for δεκτός in Acts. This interpretation is consistent with themes of purity and consecration in the Cornelius episode and throughout Luke-Acts. |
