Strong's Lexicon parodos: Passage, way through, entrance Original Word: πάροδος Word Origin: From the Greek words "para" (beside, alongside) and "hodos" (way, road) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "parodos," similar concepts can be found in words like דֶּרֶךְ (derek, Strong's H1870), meaning "way" or "path," which is often used in the Old Testament to describe a course of life or moral conduct. Usage: The term "parodos" refers to a passage or a way through, often used in the context of an entrance or a means of access. In the New Testament, it can denote a literal passage or a metaphorical way, such as a way of life or a path to follow. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, "parodos" could refer to a physical passageway, such as a road or a path, but it also had metaphorical implications. In Greek theater, the "parodos" was the entrance song of the chorus, marking the transition from the outside world into the dramatic action. This duality of meaning—both literal and metaphorical—carries into its New Testament usage, where it can signify both a physical and spiritual journey.
