Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of") and the verb αἱρέω (haireō, meaning "to take" or "to choose").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of deliverance or rescue in the Hebrew Bible is often expressed with words such as נָצַל (natsal, Strong's Hebrew 5337), which means "to deliver" or "to rescue," and יָשַׁע (yasha, Strong's Hebrew 3467), meaning "to save" or "to deliver." These Hebrew terms parallel the Greek ἐξαιρέω in conveying God's saving actions throughout the Scriptures.

Usage: In the New Testament, ἐξαιρέω is used to describe acts of deliverance or rescue, often in a spiritual or physical context. It appears in various forms to indicate the action of being taken out or saved from danger or distress.

Context: The Greek verb ἐξαιρέω is used in the New Testament to express the concept of deliverance or rescue. It is a compound word that combines the idea of taking or choosing with the notion of removal or extraction. This term is often employed in contexts where divine intervention or salvation is highlighted.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἐξαιρέω is used in passages that emphasize God's power to deliver His people from peril. For example, in Acts 7:34, Stephen recounts God's words to Moses: "I have indeed seen the oppression of My people in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning and have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you back to Egypt." Here, ἐξαιρέω underscores God's active role in rescuing the Israelites from Egyptian bondage.

Another significant usage is found in Galatians 1:4, where Paul speaks of Jesus Christ, "who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father." In this context, ἐξαιρέω highlights the redemptive work of Christ, delivering believers from the moral and spiritual corruption of the world.

The verb also appears in 2 Peter 2:9, which states, "if all this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment." This passage reassures believers of God's ability to protect and save them from trials and tribulations.

Overall, ἐξαιρέω conveys a powerful message of hope and assurance, reflecting the biblical theme of God's deliverance and salvation for His people. It is a reminder of the divine intervention that believers can rely on in times of trouble.
