Usage: The term μετοικίζω is used in the context of moving a population from one place to another, often by force or as a result of conquest. It is typically associated with the deportation or resettlement of people, particularly in the context of biblical narratives involving exile. Context: The Greek verb μετοικίζω appears in the New Testament in contexts that reflect the historical experiences of the Jewish people, particularly their exiles and resettlements. This term is notably used in the Gospel of Matthew to describe the deportation to Babylon, a significant event in Jewish history that marked the beginning of the Babylonian Exile. In Matthew 1:11-12 (BSB), the genealogy of Jesus mentions, "Josiah became the father of Jeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon. After the exile to Babylon: Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel." This passage highlights the pivotal moment of the Babylonian captivity, where the Jewish people were forcibly removed from their homeland and resettled in Babylon. The use of μετοικίζω underscores the theme of displacement and the hope of eventual restoration, which is a recurring motif in biblical prophecy and narrative. The term encapsulates the physical and spiritual journey of the Israelites, reflecting both the judgment and the promise of redemption.
