Berean Strong's Lexicon exóteros: Outer, outside Original Word: ἐξώτερος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "ἐκ" (ek), meaning "out of" or "from." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "exóteros," the concept of "outer" can be related to Hebrew terms like "חוץ" (chutz), meaning "outside" or "outer." Usage: The term "exóteros" is used to describe something that is external or located on the outside. In the New Testament, it often refers to physical locations or spaces that are outside or external to a central or inner area. It can also metaphorically imply a separation or distinction from what is considered inner or more significant. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, the concept of "outer" versus "inner" was significant in both Jewish and Greco-Roman cultures. The Jewish Temple, for example, had distinct areas such as the outer courts and the inner sanctum, each with varying degrees of holiness and access. Similarly, Greco-Roman architecture often featured outer courtyards and inner chambers. The distinction between outer and inner could also symbolize spiritual truths, such as the difference between external religious observance and internal spiritual reality.
