Strong's Lexicon apodémeó: To go away, to depart, to journey to a distant land Original Word: ἀποδημέω Word Origin: From the Greek words ἀπό (apo, meaning "from") and δῆμος (dēmos, meaning "people" or "land"), indicating a departure from one's own people or land. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀποδημέω, the concept of journeying or departing can be found in Hebrew words such as יָצָא (yatsa, meaning "to go out") and נָסַע (nasa, meaning "to journey" or "to travel"). Usage: The verb ἀποδημέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of going away or traveling to a distant place. It often implies a temporary departure with the intention of returning. This term is used in contexts where an individual leaves their home or familiar surroundings to journey elsewhere, often for a specific purpose or mission. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, travel was a significant undertaking, often involving long and arduous journeys. The concept of leaving one's home to travel to a distant land was familiar to the people of the time, whether for trade, military campaigns, or personal reasons. The use of ἀποδημέω in the New Testament reflects this cultural understanding of travel and departure.
