Sense 1: to move away, to disappear

Semantic entry: 15.14

Semantic domains: Linear Movement

Subdomains: Move, Come/Go

Definition: to move away from a normal location, with the implication of disappearing

Notes: It would be difficult to translate ἀποχωρίζομαι in RV REV 6:14 · LV REV 6:14 · Read together REV 6:14 as meaning literally ‘to go away,’ for this would seem strange in a reference to the sky. If, however, one employs an expression meaning to disappear, it may be necessary to say literally ‘could no longer be seen.’ For another interpretation of ἀποχωρίζομαι in RV REV 6:14 · LV REV 6:14 · Read together REV 6:14, see 63.30: ἀποχωρίζω.
