Strong's Lexicon ekphuó: To sprout, to produce, to bring forth Original Word: ἐκφύω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of") and the verb φύω (phuó, meaning "to grow" or "to produce"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is יָצָא (yatsa, Strong's H3318), which means "to go out" or "to come forth," and צָמַח (tsamach, Strong's H6779), meaning "to sprout" or "to spring up." Usage: The verb ἐκφύω is used to describe the action of sprouting or producing, often in the context of plants or natural growth. It conveys the idea of something emerging or being brought forth from a source. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the emergence of certain conditions or events. Cultural and Historical Background: In the agrarian society of the ancient Near East, the imagery of plants sprouting and producing fruit was a common metaphor for growth, productivity, and the fulfillment of potential. This imagery would have been readily understood by the original audience of the New Testament, who were familiar with agricultural processes and the dependence on the land for sustenance.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 1631: ἐκφύωἐκφύω; 2 aorist passive ἐξεφυην (Winers Grammar, 90 (86); Buttmann, 68 (60); Krüger, § 40, under the word φύω; (Veitch, ibid.)); (from Homer down); to generate or produce from; to cause to grow out: ὅταν ὁ κλάδος ... τά φύλλα ἐκφύῃ (subjunctive present), when the branch has become tender and puts forth leaves, R (not Rst) G T WH in Matthew 24:32 and Mark 13:28; (others, retaining the same accentuation, regard it as 2 aorist active subjunctive intransitive, with τά φύλλα as subject; but against the change of subject see Meyer or Weiss). But Fritzsche, Lachmann, Treg., others have with reason restored (after Erasmus) ἐκφύῃ (2 aorist passive subjunctive), which Griesbach had approved: when the leaves hare grown out — so that τά φύλλα is the subject.
