Berean Strong's Lexicon embainó: To embark, to go on board, to enter Original Word: ἐμβαίνω Word Origin: From the preposition ἐν (en, meaning "in" or "on") and the verb βαίνω (baino, meaning "to go" or "to walk"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "embainó," the concept of entering or embarking can be related to Hebrew verbs like עָלָה (alah, Strong's H5927, meaning "to go up" or "to ascend") and בּוֹא (bo, Strong's H935, meaning "to come" or "to enter"). Usage: The verb "embainó" is used in the New Testament to describe the action of entering or going on board a vessel, such as a boat or ship. It conveys the idea of embarking on a journey or stepping into a new phase or environment. This term is often used in the context of Jesus and His disciples entering boats to travel across bodies of water. Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Mediterranean world, boats were a common mode of transportation, especially in regions like Galilee, which had a significant fishing industry. The Sea of Galilee, in particular, was a central location for many of Jesus' teachings and miracles. The act of embarking on a boat was not only a practical necessity but also held symbolic significance, often representing a transition or movement towards a new mission or teaching opportunity.
