Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition ἐκ (ek), meaning "out of" or "from," combined with a form of the verb ἔχω (echō), meaning "to have" or "to hold."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἑξῆς, the concept of order or sequence can be related to Hebrew terms such as עָקֵב (ʿāqēb, Strong's 6119), meaning "heel" or "footstep," which can imply following or succession, and סֵדֶר (sēder, Strong's 5468), meaning "order" or "arrangement." These terms reflect similar ideas of sequence and progression found in the Hebrew Scriptures.

Usage: The word ἑξῆς is used in the New Testament to denote a sequence or order of events, often translated as "next" or "following" in English. It appears in contexts where actions or events are described as occurring in a specific order.

Context: The Greek adverb ἑξῆς is used in the New Testament to indicate a sequence or progression of events. It is found in several passages where the narrative or instruction involves a chronological order. For example, in Acts 11:4, Peter begins to explain events "in order" (ἑξῆς) to the apostles and believers in Jerusalem, providing a detailed account of his vision and subsequent actions. This usage underscores the importance of orderly narration in conveying the truth of events.

Another instance is found in Acts 18:23, where Paul, after spending some time in Antioch, sets out "from there" and travels "from place to place" (ἑξῆς) through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples. Here, ἑξῆς emphasizes the systematic approach Paul takes in his missionary journey, ensuring that each community of believers is visited and encouraged.

The use of ἑξῆς in the New Testament reflects a broader cultural appreciation for order and sequence, which was significant in both Jewish and Greco-Roman contexts. This term helps readers understand the methodical nature of early Christian teaching and missionary work, highlighting the importance of structure in the dissemination of the Gospel message.
