Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From εὐρύς (eurýs, meaning "broad" or "wide") and χώρα (chōra, meaning "space" or "place").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for εὐρύχωρος, the concept of a "broad" or "spacious" way can be related to Hebrew terms such as רָחָב (rachab, Strong's Hebrew 7342), which means "broad" or "wide." This term is used in the Old Testament to describe physical spaces and metaphorically to describe paths or ways of life. Usage: The word εὐρύχωρος is used in the New Testament to describe a path or way that is broad, often in a metaphorical sense to contrast with a narrow path. Context: The Greek term εὐρύχωρος appears in the New Testament in the context of Jesus' teachings about the paths of life. In Matthew 7:13, Jesus uses this term to describe the "broad" way that leads to destruction, contrasting it with the "narrow" way that leads to life. This passage highlights the ease and appeal of the broad path, which many choose, yet it ultimately leads to ruin. The broad way is symbolic of a life lived without regard for God's commandments, characterized by moral laxity and spiritual complacency. In contrast, the narrow way requires discipline, commitment, and adherence to the teachings of Christ. The use of εὐρύχωρος in this context serves as a warning to believers to be vigilant in their spiritual journey, choosing the path that leads to eternal life despite its challenges.
