Strong's Lexicon dierchomai: To go through, to pass through, to travel through Original Word: διερχομαι Word Origin: From the Greek words διά (dia, meaning "through") and ἔρχομαι (erchomai, meaning "to come" or "to go"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is עָבַר (abar, Strong's H5674), which means "to pass over" or "to go through." Usage: The verb "dierchomai" is used in the New Testament to describe the action of passing through or traveling through a place. It often conveys the idea of moving from one location to another, sometimes with a sense of purpose or mission. This term can also imply a thorough or complete passage, indicating not just physical movement but also the accomplishment of a task or journey. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, travel was a significant aspect of life, especially for those spreading the Gospel. Roads and pathways were essential for trade, communication, and the dissemination of ideas. The use of "dierchomai" reflects the itinerant nature of Jesus' ministry and the missionary journeys of the apostles. The Roman Empire's extensive road network facilitated such travel, making it possible for the early Christian message to spread rapidly across different regions.
