Strong's Lexicon apeimi: To be away, to be absent Original Word: ἀπείμι Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀπὸ (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and εἰμί (eimi, meaning "to be"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of absence is also present in Hebrew, though there is no direct equivalent to ἀπείμι. Related ideas can be found in words like עָזַב (azab, Strong's H5800), meaning "to leave" or "forsake," and רָחַק (rahaq, Strong's H7368), meaning "to be far" or "to be distant." Usage: The Greek verb ἀπείμι (apeimi) is used to denote the state of being absent or away from a particular place or situation. It is often used in contexts where physical absence is noted, but it can also imply a lack of presence in a more abstract sense, such as being absent in spirit or attention. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, physical presence was often necessary for participation in civic, religious, and familial duties. Being absent could imply neglect of responsibilities or a lack of involvement in communal life. The concept of presence and absence was significant in both social and religious contexts, where physical presence often equated to engagement and commitment.
