Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὑποχωρέω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that convey the idea of retreating or yielding. Some related Hebrew entries include:
• Strong's Hebrew 7725 (שׁוּב, shuv): To turn back, return, or retreat.
• Strong's Hebrew 5414 (נָתַן, nathan): To give, put, or yield.
• Strong's Hebrew 7503 (רָפָה, raphah): To let go, relax, or withdraw.

These Hebrew terms reflect similar themes of movement, yielding, and submission, which are central to the understanding of ὑποχωρέω in the New Testament context.

Usage: The term ὑποχωρέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of withdrawing or retreating, often in the context of moving away from a situation or yielding to another's authority or power.

Context: The Greek verb ὑποχωρέω appears in the New Testament to convey the idea of retreating or yielding. It is a compound word that combines the preposition ὑπό, meaning "under," with the verb χωρέω, which means "to go" or "to make room." This term is used to describe physical movement away from a place or situation, as well as metaphorical yielding or submission.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ὑποχωρέω is used in contexts where individuals or groups retreat or give way, often in response to a greater force or authority. The concept of yielding is significant in the Christian life, where believers are called to submit to God's will and authority. This term underscores the importance of humility and the recognition of divine sovereignty.

The act of withdrawing or yielding can also be seen as a strategic or wise decision, reflecting discernment and the ability to recognize when to step back. In the spiritual sense, it can denote the surrender of one's own desires in favor of God's purposes.
