Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from ἐκ (ek, "out of") and ἔρχομαι (erchomai, "to come" or "to go").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - יָצָא (yatsa, Strong's Hebrew 3318): To go out, to come out, to exit. This Hebrew verb shares a similar meaning with ἐξέρχομαι, often used in the Old Testament to describe the act of going out or departing from a place.
- צָאָה (tsa'ah, Strong's Hebrew 3318): To go out, to come forth. Another Hebrew term that parallels the Greek ἐξέρχομαι in its usage of describing movement out of a location or situation.
Usage: The verb ἐξέρχομαι is used in the New Testament to describe the action of going out or departing from a place. It is often used in contexts where individuals or groups are leaving a location, such as a city, house, or gathering. It can also refer to the emergence of something, such as words from the mouth or spirits from a person.
Context: The Greek verb ἐξέρχομαι appears frequently in the New Testament, illustrating various contexts of departure or emergence. It is a compound word combining the preposition ἐκ, meaning "out of," with the verb ἔρχομαι, meaning "to come" or "to go." This construction emphasizes the action of moving out from within a particular space or state.
In the Gospels, ἐξέρχομαι is often used to describe Jesus and His disciples leaving a place to go to another, as seen in Matthew 8:28: "When He arrived on the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met Him." Here, the verb underscores the movement from one geographical location to another.
The term is also employed in spiritual contexts, such as the casting out of demons. In Mark 1:25-26, Jesus commands an unclean spirit to come out of a man: "But Jesus rebuked the spirit. 'Be silent!' He said. 'Come out of him!' At this, the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and came out with a loud shriek." This usage highlights the authority of Jesus over spiritual entities, compelling them to depart from those they possess.
Additionally, ἐξέρχομαι is used metaphorically to describe the emergence of words or actions from a person, as in Matthew 15:18: "But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man." This illustrates the concept that one's speech and actions are a reflection of their inner character.
The verb is also significant in eschatological passages, where it describes the departure of individuals or groups in the context of divine judgment or salvation. In Revelation 18:4, a voice from heaven commands, "Come out of her, My people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues." This call to "come out" signifies a separation from sin and impending judgment.
