3327. metabainó
Strong's Lexicon
metabainó: To pass over, to change, to depart, to move

Original Word: μεταβαίνω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: metabainó
Pronunciation: meh-tah-BYE-no
Phonetic Spelling: (met-ab-ah'-ee-no)
Definition: To pass over, to change, to depart, to move
Meaning: I change my place (abode), leave, depart, remove, pass over.

Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "μετά" (meta, meaning "after" or "beyond") and the verb "βαίνω" (baino, meaning "to go" or "to walk").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "metabainó," the concept of crossing over or transitioning can be seen in Hebrew words like "עָבַר" (abar, Strong's H5674), which means to pass over or through.

Usage: The verb "metabainó" primarily means to move from one place to another, to change location or position. It can also imply a transition or change in state or condition. In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of physical movement or metaphorical transitions, such as moving from death to life or from one realm to another.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, movement and travel were common, whether for trade, military campaigns, or religious pilgrimages. The concept of transition or change was also significant in philosophical and religious contexts, where it could symbolize spiritual or moral transformation. In the Jewish context, transitions often had covenantal or eschatological implications, reflecting a change in one's relationship with God or a shift in divine history.
