1807. exaireó

Strong's Lexicon

exaireó: To take out, to deliver, to rescue

Original Word: ἐξαιρέω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: exaireó
Pronunciation: ex-ah-ee-reh'-o
Phonetic Spelling: (ex-ahee-reh'-o)
Definition: To take out, to deliver, to rescue
Meaning: I take out, remove; sometimes (mid): I choose, sometimes: I rescue.

Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐκ" (ek, meaning "out of") and the verb "αἱρέω" (haireō, meaning "to take" or "to choose").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of deliverance is יָשַׁע (yasha, Strong's Hebrew 3467), which means to save or deliver.

Usage: The verb "exaireó" primarily means to take out or remove something from a particular place or situation. In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of deliverance or rescue, indicating a divine intervention where God or His agents remove someone from danger or distress.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of deliverance was often associated with gods or heroes rescuing individuals from peril. The New Testament usage of "exaireó" reflects a similar understanding but emphasizes the power and sovereignty of the one true God in delivering His people. This term underscores the belief in God's active role in the lives of believers, rescuing them from both physical and spiritual dangers.
