Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of") and the verb ἅλλομαι (hallomai, meaning "to leap" or "to spring").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐξάλλομαι, similar concepts of leaping or jumping can be found in the Hebrew Bible. Some corresponding Hebrew words include:

- פָּסַח (pasach, Strong's Hebrew 6452): To leap, to pass over, used in contexts such as the Passover.
- דָּלַג (dalag, Strong's Hebrew 1801): To leap, to spring, used in poetic contexts to describe swift or joyful movement.

These Hebrew terms, like ἐξάλλομαι, often convey a sense of dynamic action and are used in contexts that highlight significant or celebratory events.

Usage: The verb ἐξάλλομαι is used in the New Testament to describe a sudden or vigorous movement, often in the context of a miraculous or significant event. It conveys the idea of leaping or springing forth with energy or enthusiasm.

Context: The Greek verb ἐξάλλομαι appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize a sudden and dynamic action, often associated with miraculous healing or divine intervention. This term is used to describe the physical act of leaping or jumping, typically as a response to a transformative experience or event.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἐξάλλομαι is notably used in Acts 3:8, where it describes the reaction of the man healed by Peter and John at the temple gate called Beautiful. The passage reads: "He leaped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and leaping and praising God." This instance highlights the immediate and joyful response of the man who, having been lame from birth, experiences the power of God through healing.

The use of ἐξάλλομαι in this context underscores the theme of restoration and the transformative power of faith and divine intervention. The physical act of leaping serves as a metaphor for spiritual renewal and the exuberant expression of gratitude and praise.
