Strong's Lexicon proerchomai: To go before, to proceed, to advance Original Word: προέρχομαι Word Origin: From the Greek prefix "προ-" (pro-, meaning "before" or "forward") and "ἔρχομαι" (erchomai, meaning "to come" or "to go"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "proerchomai," the concept of going before or leading can be found in Hebrew words like "קָדַם" (qadam, Strong's H6923), which means to go before or to precede. Usage: The verb "proerchomai" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of going before or proceeding ahead. It can refer to physical movement, such as going ahead of someone, or metaphorically, to actions or events that precede others. The term emphasizes the concept of precedence or priority in sequence. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of going before or leading the way was significant in various contexts, including military, political, and social settings. Leaders and messengers often went ahead to prepare the way or announce important news. In the biblical context, this term can also carry spiritual implications, such as preparing the way for the Lord or setting an example for others to follow.
