Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From διά (dia, meaning "through") and περάω (peráō, meaning "to pass" or "to pierce").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While διαπεράω is a Greek term, its concept of crossing over or passing through can be related to several Hebrew words used in the Old Testament. Some corresponding Hebrew entries include:

- עָבַר (ʿāḇar, Strong's Hebrew 5674): To pass over, to cross, to go through.
- חָלַף (ḥālap̄, Strong's Hebrew 2498): To pass on, to pass through, to change.

These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of movement across a boundary or transition from one place to another, often used in narratives involving journeys or significant changes.

Usage: The verb διαπεράω is used in the New Testament to describe the action of crossing over or passing through a body of water or a region. It often conveys the idea of moving from one side to another, typically in the context of travel or journeying.

Context: The Greek verb διαπεράω appears in the New Testament in contexts that involve travel or movement across a geographical boundary, such as a sea or a region. It is a compound word formed from διά, meaning "through," and περάω, meaning "to pass." This verb is used to describe the act of crossing over, often implying a significant or purposeful journey.

In the Berean Standard Bible, διαπεράω is used in passages that highlight the movement of Jesus and His disciples as they traveled across the Sea of Galilee. For example, in Luke 8:22, it is written: "One day Jesus said to His disciples, 'Let us cross to the other side of the lake.' So He got into a boat with them and set out." Here, διαπεράω underscores the intentional crossing from one side of the lake to the other, a journey that often precedes significant events or teachings in the ministry of Jesus.

The use of διαπεράω in the New Testament is not merely a description of physical movement but often carries theological significance. It can symbolize transition, transformation, or the crossing from one state of being to another. This crossing over can be seen as a metaphor for spiritual journeys or the movement from old to new life in Christ.
