Strong's Lexicon perierchomai: To go about, to wander, to go around Original Word: περιέρχομαι Word Origin: From the Greek words περί (peri, meaning "around") and ἔρχομαι (erchomai, meaning "to come" or "to go"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "perierchomai," the concept of wandering or going about can be found in Hebrew words like תּוּר (tur, meaning "to spy out" or "to explore") and נָדַד (nadad, meaning "to wander" or "to flee"). Usage: The verb "perierchomai" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of going around or wandering about. It can imply a physical movement from place to place, often without a fixed destination or purpose. In a metaphorical sense, it can also suggest a lack of focus or aimlessness in one's actions or thoughts. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, travel was a common part of life, whether for trade, military campaigns, or religious pilgrimages. The concept of "going around" or "wandering" could carry both positive and negative connotations, depending on the context. For instance, itinerant preachers or philosophers might be seen as spreading wisdom, while aimless wanderers could be viewed with suspicion.
