Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of withdrawing or departing is also present in the Hebrew Scriptures, though not directly equivalent to ἀναχωρέω. Some corresponding Hebrew terms include: Usage: The verb ἀναχωρέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of withdrawing or departing from a place, often in the context of moving away from danger or after completing a task. Context: The Greek verb ἀναχωρέω appears in several passages within the New Testament, primarily in the Gospels. It is often used to describe Jesus' actions when He withdrew from crowds or moved to a different location for strategic or spiritual reasons. For example, in Matthew 2:14, Joseph "got up, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt" to escape Herod's massacre. Similarly, in Matthew 14:13, after hearing of John the Baptist's death, "Jesus withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place." These instances highlight the use of ἀναχωρέω in contexts of retreat or seeking solitude, often for safety or reflection.
