1936 epíthesis (from 2007 /epitíthēmi, "place upon") – properly to put, lay on (hands); used of the Lord conveying supernatural encouragement and revelation by "the laying on of hands."

This simple procedure looks to the Lord for guidance and to pass on confirmation of His will. It is the principal means of "ordaining" someone to ministry, but should also be a regular practice in the church when helping someone confirm (discover) God's will, etc.

[1 Tim 4:14 shows how the "laying on of hands" helps spur people to receive God's grace-gifts. These endowments bring great fruitfulness to the Lord's Church.

(Ro 1:11) Paul exemplified face-to-face meetings with churches because these are spiritually dynamic. They included: "laying on of hands" (done in conjunction with the elders of the church), and moving in spiritual gifts (cf. 1 Cor 12:12, 14:18).]
