exerchomai: To go out, to come out, to depart
Original Word:ἐξέρχομαι
Part of Speech:Verb
Transliteration:exerchomai
Pronunciation:ex-er'-khom-ahee
Phonetic Spelling:(ex-er'-khom-ahee)
Definition:To go out, to come out, to depart
Meaning:I go out, come out.
Word Origin:From the preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of") and the verb ἔρχομαι (erchomai, meaning "to come" or "to go").
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 ἐξέρχομαι (exerchomai) is used in the New Testament to describe the action of going out or coming forth from a place. It can refer to physical movement from one location to another, as well as metaphorical or spiritual departures. The term is often used in the context of Jesus and His disciples moving from one place to another, the departure of spirits, or the spreading of news or teachings.
Cultural and Historical Background:In the Greco-Roman world, movement and travel were common, whether for trade, religious pilgrimages, or military campaigns. The concept of "going out" or "coming forth" was significant in both physical and spiritual contexts. In Jewish culture, the idea of coming out or departing often had spiritual connotations, such as the Exodus from Egypt, which symbolized liberation and divine intervention.
