Phonetic Spelling: (kath-ex-ace')
Definition: In order, successively, one after another
Meaning: in order, in succession, in the time immediately after, just after.

Word Origin: From κατά (kata, meaning "according to") and ἑξῆς (hexēs, meaning "in order" or "successively")

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for καθεξῆς, the concept of order and sequence can be found in Hebrew words like סדר (seder), meaning "order" or "arrangement."

Usage: The adverb καθεξῆς (kathexés) is used to denote a sequence or order of events or actions. It implies a systematic or chronological arrangement, often used to describe a narrative or series of events that follow one another in a logical or intended sequence.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of order and sequence was important in both oral and written traditions. Historians and storytellers often emphasized the orderly presentation of events to ensure clarity and coherence. In the context of the New Testament, this term reflects the importance of orderly teaching and the accurate transmission of events, particularly in the recounting of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ.
