Thayer's Greek Lexicon
STRONGS NT 1545: ἔκβασις

ἔκβασις, ἐκβασεως, (ἐκβαίνω);

1. an egress, way out (Homer, et al.): applied figuratively to the way of escape from temptation into which one εἰσέρχεται or εἰσφέρεται (see these words), 1 Corinthians 10:13.

2. in a sense foreign to secular authors, the issue ((cf. its objective sense e. g. Epictetus diss. 2, 7, 9)) equivalent to end: used of the end of life, Wis. 2:17; ἔκβασις τῆς ἀναστροφῆς τινων, in Hebrews 13:7, is not merely the end of their physical life, but the manner in which they closed a well-spent life as exhibited by their spirit in dying; cf. Delitzsch, at the passage.

Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: From the Greek verb ἐκβαίνω (ekbaino), meaning "to go out" or "to depart."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἔκβασις, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that convey deliverance or escape, such as:

- מוֹצָא (motsa, Strong's Hebrew 4161): Referring to an "exit" or "way out."
- פְּלֵיטָה (peleitah, Strong's Hebrew 6413): Meaning "escape" or "deliverance."

These Hebrew terms, like ἔκβασις, reflect the theme of finding a way out or experiencing deliverance, often in the context of divine intervention.

Usage: The word ἔκβασις is used in the New Testament to describe a way of escape or a conclusion to a matter. It appears in contexts where deliverance or a final outcome is in view.

Context: ἔκβασις is a noun found in the New Testament, specifically in the context of divine deliverance and resolution. It appears in Hebrews 13:7, where it is used to describe the outcome or result of a person's way of life, particularly in the context of faith and leadership: "Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith" (BSB).

The term is also found in 1 Corinthians 10:13, where it is used to assure believers of God's faithfulness in providing a way out of temptation: "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it" (BSB). Here, ἔκβασις emphasizes God's provision of a means to endure and overcome trials.

In both instances, ἔκβασις underscores the theme of divine intervention and guidance, offering believers assurance of God's active role in their spiritual journey. It highlights the importance of faith and reliance on God's promises for deliverance and resolution in life's challenges.
