Strong's Lexicon proporeuomai: To go before, to precede Original Word: προπορεύομαι Word Origin: From πρό (pro, "before") and πορεύομαι (poreuomai, "to go" or "to proceed") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of going before or preparing the way is echoed in the Hebrew Scriptures, particularly in the role of prophets and messengers. A corresponding Hebrew term is יָשַׁר (yashar, Strong's H3474), meaning "to make straight" or "to direct." Usage: The verb "proporeuomai" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of going before someone or something, often in the sense of leading the way or preparing the path. It conveys the idea of precedence in movement or action, typically in a guiding or preparatory role. Cultural and Historical Background: In the cultural context of the New Testament, the concept of going before someone was significant in both literal and metaphorical senses. Leaders, messengers, or heralds would often go ahead of a group to prepare the way, announce the arrival of someone important, or ensure the path was safe. This imagery is deeply rooted in the practices of ancient travel and communication, where roads were less developed, and advance preparation was crucial.
