Part of speech: verb

Sense 1: to go out of, to depart out of, to leave from within

Semantic entry: 15.40

Semantic domains: Linear Movement

Subdomains: Leave, Depart, Flee, Escape, Send

Definition: to move out of an enclosed or welldefined two or three-dimensional area

Notes: In some contexts one may interpret occurrences of ἐκπορεύομαι as being used figuratively or as part of an idiomatic phrase, but ἐκπορεύομαι also implies some type of movement out from a defined or enclosed area. Note, for example, the occurrences of ἐκπορεύομαι in the following contexts: τὸ ἐκπορευόμενον ἐκ τοῦ στόματος τοῦτο κοινοῖ τὸν ἄνθρωπον ‘that which comes from a man’s mouth causes him to be defiled’ RV MAT 15:11 · LV MAT 15:11 · Read together MAT 15:11; ἐξεπορεύετο ἦχος περὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς πάντα τόπον τῆς περιχώρου ‘the report about him went out into all parts of the surrounding region’ RV LUK 4:37 · LV LUK 4:37 · Read together LUK 4:37; τά τε πνεύματα τὰ πονηρὰ ἐκπορεύεσθαι ‘the evil spirits would go out of them’ RV ACT 19:12 · LV ACT 19:12 · Read together ACT 19:12. In a number of languages, however, it may be necessary to translate the meaning of ἐκπορεύομαι in quite different ways. For example, in RV MAT 15:11 · LV MAT 15:11 · Read together MAT 15:11 it may be necessary to translate ‘that which a man says causes him to be defiled,’ and in RV LUK 4:37 · LV LUK 4:37 · Read together LUK 4:37 it may be necessary to translate ‘more and more people in all parts of the surrounding region heard about Jesus,’ and for RV ACT 19:12 · LV ACT 19:12 · Read together ACT 19:12 it may be necessary to say ‘the evil spirits would no longer ride them’ or ‘… control them.’

Semantic domains: Behavior and Related States

Notes: The semantic focus of these idioms, especially in RV ACT 1:21 · LV ACT 1:21 · Read together ACT 1:21 and RV ACT 9:28 · LV ACT 9:28 · Read together ACT 9:28, appears to be the manner in which a person conducts himself in relationship to others, but it is possible to imply a certain amount of movement. For example, in RV ACT 1:21 · LV ACT 1:21 · Read together ACT 1:21 it is possible to translate ‘during the whole time the Lord Jesus travelled about with us,’ and in RV ACT 9:28 · LV ACT 9:28 · Read together ACT 9:28 one could translate ‘Paul stayed with them and went about in Jerusalem.’
