1276. diaperaó
Strong's Lexicon
diaperaó: To cross over, to pass through

Original Word: διαπεράω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: diaperaó
Pronunciation: dee-ap-er-ah'-o
Phonetic Spelling: (dee-ap-er-ah'-o)
Definition: To cross over, to pass through
Meaning: I cross over, pass over.

Word Origin: From the Greek words διά (dia, meaning "through") and περάω (perao, meaning "to pass" or "to pierce").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for διαπεράω, the concept of crossing over is often represented by the Hebrew verb עָבַר (abar), Strong's Hebrew #5674, which means "to pass over" or "to cross."

Usage: The verb διαπεράω is used in the New Testament to describe the action of crossing over or passing through a body of water or a boundary. It conveys the idea of moving from one side to another, often implying a significant transition or journey.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, crossing bodies of water was often a significant and sometimes perilous undertaking. The act of crossing over, especially in a biblical context, can symbolize transition, deliverance, or the fulfillment of divine purpose. In the Greco-Roman world, travel by sea was common, but it was also fraught with danger, making successful crossings noteworthy events.
