Original Word:ἐκπορεύομαι
Part of Speech:Verb
Transliteration:ekporeuomai
Pronunciation:ek-por-YOO-oh-my
Phonetic Spelling:(ek-por-yoo'-om-ahee)
Definition:To go out, to proceed, to come forth
Meaning:I depart from; I am voided, cast out; I proceed from, am spoken; I burst forth, flow out, am spread abroad.
Word Origin:From the preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of") and πορεύομαι (poreuomai, meaning "to go" or "to proceed").
Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is יָצָא (yatsa, Strong's H3318), which means "to go out" or "to come forth."
Usage:The Greek verb ἐκπορεύομαι is used to describe the action of going out or proceeding from a source. It often conveys the idea of movement from an origin point, whether physical, spiritual, or metaphorical. In the New Testament, it is frequently used to describe the emanation of words, actions, or spiritual realities from a person or place.
Cultural and Historical Background:In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of something proceeding from a source was significant in both philosophical and religious contexts. The idea of words or actions emanating from a person was understood as an expression of their inner character or nature. In Jewish thought, the concept of something proceeding from God or a holy place carried connotations of divine authority and purity.
