Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb πορεύομαι (poreuomai), meaning "to go" or "to travel." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While πορεία is a Greek term, its concept can be related to several Hebrew words that describe travel or journey. Some corresponding Strong's Hebrew entries include: - H1870 דֶּרֶךְ (derek): Meaning "way" or "path," often used to describe a journey or course of life. - H3212 יָלַךְ (yalak): A verb meaning "to go" or "to walk," frequently used in the context of traveling or moving. - H1980 הָלַךְ (halak): Another verb for "to walk" or "to go," emphasizing the act of traveling or proceeding on a journey. These Hebrew terms, like πορεία, convey the idea of movement, direction, and purpose, whether in a physical or spiritual sense. Usage: The term πορεία is used in the New Testament to describe physical journeys or travels. It can also metaphorically imply a spiritual or life journey. Context: The Greek word πορεία (poreia) appears in the New Testament to describe the act of traveling or the journey itself. It is used in contexts that highlight the physical movement from one place to another, often with a purpose or mission. In the Berean Standard Bible, πορεία is translated as "journey" or "travel." For example, in Luke 13:22, it is written: "Then Jesus traveled throughout the towns and villages, teaching as He made His way to Jerusalem." Here, πορεία is implied in the context of Jesus' purposeful journey towards Jerusalem, emphasizing His mission and the path He took. The concept of πορεία can also be understood metaphorically, representing the spiritual journey of a believer. This journey involves growth, challenges, and the pursuit of a deeper relationship with God. The New Testament often uses journey imagery to describe the Christian life, encouraging believers to stay on the path of righteousness and faith. In the broader biblical narrative, journeys are significant as they often signify transformation, divine encounters, and fulfillment of God's promises. The journey motif is prevalent throughout Scripture, from the Israelites' exodus from Egypt to the missionary travels of the apostles.
