Strong's Lexicon ekporeuomai: To go out, to proceed, to come forth Original Word: ἐκπορεύομαι Word Origin: From the preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of") and πορεύομαι (poreuomai, meaning "to go" or "to proceed"). 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 ἐκπορεύομαι is used to describe the action of going out or proceeding from a source. It often conveys the idea of movement from an origin point, whether physical, spiritual, or metaphorical. In the New Testament, it is frequently used to describe the emanation of words, actions, or spiritual realities from a person or place. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of something proceeding from a source was significant in both philosophical and religious contexts. The idea of words or actions emanating from a person was understood as an expression of their inner character or nature. In Jewish thought, the concept of something proceeding from God or a holy place carried connotations of divine authority and purity. HELPS Word-studies 1607 ekporeúomai (from 1537 /ek, "out from," intensifying 4198 /poreúomai, "take a particular passageway") – properly, go out from, emphasizing the outcome (end-impact) of going through a particular process or passage – i.e. the influence on the person (or thing) which comes forth. Note the force of the prefix 1537 (ek). 1607 /ekporeúomai ("come out from") links the source to the outcome (influence) on the object (as specified by the individual context).
