to appoint
Anadeiknumi refers to designating people for a stated task or selection in the two attested clauses.
The two occurrences show the verb for designating individuals: the Lord designates seventy-two to go ahead in Luke 10:1, and a prayer asks him to designate one of two men in Acts 1:24.

In Luke 10:1, ἀνέδειξεν is a third-person aorist active indicative in the clause where the Lord designates seventy-two and sends them ahead. In Acts 1:24, ἀνάδειξον is a second-person aorist active singular form in a prayer asking the Lord to designate which of two persons he chose; the APB renders the clauses with "appointed."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "appointed" in both verses, for the designation of the seventy-two in Luke 10:1 and the requested selection of one person in Acts 1:24. This reflects the clauses' presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
