Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: From the preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of" or "from") and the verb ἀνατέλλω (anatellō, meaning "to rise" or "to spring up").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of rising or springing up is also present in the Hebrew Scriptures, with several Hebrew words conveying similar meanings. Corresponding Hebrew entries include:
• Strong's Hebrew 6779 (צָמַח, tsamach): To sprout, spring up, grow.
• Strong's Hebrew 5927 (עָלָה, alah): To go up, ascend, rise.
• Strong's Hebrew 3318 (יָצָא, yatsa): To go out, come forth.
These Hebrew terms, like ἐξανατέλλω, are often used in contexts that describe growth, emergence, and the unfolding of God's creation and purposes. They reflect the biblical motif of life and renewal, underscoring the divine initiative in both the natural world and the spiritual realm.
Usage: The verb ἐξανατέλλω is used in the New Testament to describe the action of something rising or springing up, often in a natural or metaphorical sense.
Context: The Greek verb ἐξανατέλλω appears in the New Testament to convey the idea of something emerging or coming forth, often with a sense of growth or development. This term is used in contexts that describe natural phenomena or metaphorical expressions of growth. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἐξανατέλλω is used in the following passage:
• Mark 4:27 (BSB): "Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how."
In this parable of the growing seed, Jesus uses the term ἐξανατέλλω to illustrate the mysterious and autonomous nature of the Kingdom of God. The seed, once sown, begins to grow and develop independently of human intervention, symbolizing the divine and often unseen work of God in the world. The use of ἐξανατέλλω emphasizes the natural and inevitable progression of God's purposes, much like the growth of a seed into a plant.
The imagery of growth and emergence is a common biblical theme, reflecting the transformative power of God's word and the unfolding of His plans. The verb ἐξανατέλλω captures this dynamic process, inviting believers to trust in the unseen work of God that brings about spiritual and communal growth.
