Word Origin: Derived from a primary preposition (perh. akin to G4008) meaning "forward" or "farther." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is רָחוֹק (rachoq), Strong's Hebrew 7350, which also means "far" or "distant." Usage: The Greek adverb "porró" is used to denote physical or metaphorical distance. It conveys the idea of being far away or at a considerable distance from a particular point or object. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe spatial separation or to emphasize the remoteness of a location or situation. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, distance was a significant factor in daily life, affecting travel, communication, and social interactions. The concept of being "far away" could imply not only physical separation but also social or relational distance. In the context of the New Testament, "porró" can highlight the separation between God and humanity due to sin, as well as the physical distances that Jesus and His disciples traveled during their ministry.
