Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek adjective μακρός (makros), meaning "long" or "far."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of distance in the Hebrew Bible is often expressed with the word רָחוֹק (rachoq), Strong's Hebrew 7350, which similarly conveys the idea of being far or distant. This term is used in various contexts, including physical distance, as seen in Genesis 22:4, and metaphorical distance, as in Psalm 103:12, "As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us." Usage: The term μακράν is used in the New Testament to describe physical distance, spiritual separation, or metaphorical distance. It often conveys the idea of being removed or distant from a particular place, person, or state. Context: The Greek adverb μακράν appears in several New Testament passages, often highlighting the concept of distance, whether physical or spiritual. In the Gospels, it is used to describe the physical distance of individuals or groups from Jesus or a particular location. For example, in Mark 12:34, Jesus tells a scribe, "You are not far from the kingdom of God," indicating a metaphorical distance in terms of understanding and acceptance of spiritual truths.
