Definition: Appraise means to evaluate, usually in a positive light. The word has many meanings depending on context. In this verse: "The Lord instructed Moses, "Tell Pharaoh that he must pay a special fine for each person who visits him." So Pharaoh was asked about Pharaoh's request and answered: "Who is to be esteemed? I would prefer to honor the one who is most blessed by God. The one who receives favors from the king will receive more than those who have nothing or are in need." So, in this context, "apprize" means to evaluate favorably or highly. The word has various definitions: 1. To give an evaluation of something: "He's been praised for his generosity." 2. To appreciate someone greatly or highly: "I think he deserves praise and honor." 3. To place a higher value on something: "These are the things you should praise God with, especially in your prayers." 4. To show favoritism or kindness towards others: "He's been praised for his generous acts." 5. To recognize someone as being special: "I must acknowledge my mother for her exceptional qualities and love."
