Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: A primary preposition

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of "beyond" or "on the other side" in Hebrew can be related to several words, but a direct equivalent in terms of usage and context might be:

• Strong's Hebrew 5676 (עֵבֶר, 'eber): Meaning "region beyond" or "across," often used to describe areas across a river or boundary.

• Strong's Hebrew 5677 (עֵבֶר, 'eber): Similar in meaning, used to denote the other side or beyond a particular point.

These Hebrew terms, like "πέρα," are used to describe geographical locations and transitions, often in the context of crossing a river or boundary, which is a common theme in both the Old and New Testaments.

Usage: The term "πέρα" is used in the New Testament to denote a location or position that is beyond or on the other side of a particular point. It is often used in a geographical context to describe areas that are across a body of water or a boundary.

Context: The Greek word "πέρα" (pera) appears in the New Testament to describe locations that are beyond a certain point or on the opposite side. This preposition is primarily used in a geographical sense, indicating a separation by distance or a boundary such as a river or sea.

In the Berean Standard Bible, "πέρα" is used in passages that describe Jesus' travels and the movement of people across regions. For example, in Mark 5:1, it is used to describe Jesus' journey to the region of the Gerasenes: "They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes." Here, "πέρα" signifies the crossing of the Sea of Galilee to reach the other side.

The use of "πέρα" highlights the physical and sometimes metaphorical transitions in the narrative, emphasizing the movement from one place to another. It can also imply a sense of reaching out or extending beyond a known boundary, which can carry theological implications of reaching out to new territories or peoples.
