Berean Strong's Lexicon exó: Outside, without, out Original Word: ἔξω Word Origin: From the primary preposition ἐκ (ek), meaning "out of" or "from." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is חוּץ (chuts), meaning "outside" or "without." Usage: The Greek adverb "ἔξω" (exó) is used to denote a position or state of being outside or beyond a certain boundary or limit. It is often used in the New Testament to describe physical locations, such as being outside a city or building, as well as metaphorical or spiritual states, such as being outside the community of believers or outside the will of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the cultural context of the New Testament, the concept of being "outside" carried significant implications. For the Jewish people, being outside the camp or city could mean being ritually unclean or excluded from the community. In the Greco-Roman world, being outside could also imply exclusion from social or religious gatherings. The use of "exó" in the New Testament often reflects these cultural understandings, emphasizing themes of inclusion and exclusion, purity and impurity, and belonging and alienation.
