Strong's Lexicon ekpheró: To bring out, to carry out, to produce Original Word: ἐκφέρω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of") and the verb φέρω (pheró, meaning "to carry" or "to bear"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐκφέρω, the concept of carrying out or bringing forth can be related to Hebrew verbs like יָצָא (yatsa, Strong's H3318), meaning "to go out" or "to bring forth." Usage: The verb ἐκφέρω (ekpheró) is used in the New Testament to describe the action of bringing something out or carrying something away. It can refer to physical movement, such as carrying a body out for burial, or metaphorically, such as producing fruit or results. The term emphasizes the action of moving something from one place to another, often with a sense of completion or fulfillment. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the act of carrying out or bringing forth was often associated with various aspects of daily life, including agriculture, trade, and religious practices. The concept of bearing or producing fruit was a common metaphor in both Jewish and Greco-Roman literature, symbolizing productivity and the results of one's actions or character.
