Strong's Lexicon eisodos: Entrance, access, way in, coming in Original Word: εἴσοδος Word Origin: From the Greek words εἰς (eis, meaning "into") and ὁδός (hodos, meaning "way" or "road"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is בּוֹא (bo, Strong's Hebrew 935), which means "to come" or "to enter." Usage: The term "eisodos" primarily refers to the act of entering or the entrance itself. It can denote both a literal and metaphorical entry. In the New Testament, it is used to describe physical entrances, as well as the concept of entering into a new phase or relationship, particularly in the context of the Christian faith. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "eisodos" would have been understood in both practical and philosophical terms. Practically, it referred to the physical act of entering a space, such as a city or a building. Philosophically, it could imply entering into a new state of being or understanding. In Jewish culture, the idea of entering was significant in terms of entering the Promised Land or the Temple, symbolizing a transition into a place of divine promise or presence.
