Strong's Lexicon apochóreó: To depart, to withdraw, to go away Original Word: ἀποχωρέω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and χωρέω (chóreó, meaning "to go" or "to depart"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is יָצָא (yatsa, Strong's H3318), meaning "to go out" or "to depart." Usage: The verb ἀποχωρέω is used in the New Testament to describe the action of departing or withdrawing from a place or situation. It often implies a physical movement away from a location or a separation from a group or individual. The term can also suggest a strategic or purposeful withdrawal, often in response to a particular circumstance or command. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, movement and travel were common, and the concept of departing or withdrawing was a regular part of life, whether for trade, military campaigns, or personal reasons. The term ἀποχωρέω would have been understood in this context as a deliberate action, often with a specific purpose or destination in mind. In the biblical context, it can also carry a spiritual or moral dimension, indicating a separation from sin or a turning away from evil.
