Strong's Lexicon
epanerchomai: To return, to come back

Original Word: ἐπανέρχομαι
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: epanerchomai
Pronunciation: ep-an-er'-khom-ahee
Phonetic Spelling: (ep-an-er'-khom-ahee)
Definition: To return, to come back
Meaning: I return, come back again.

Word Origin: From the preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and the verb ἔρχομαι (erchomai, meaning "to come" or "to go").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of returning is also found in Hebrew, with words like שׁוּב (shuv, Strong's H7725), which means to return or turn back. This Hebrew term is often used in the context of repentance or returning to God.

Usage: The Greek verb ἐπανέρχομαι (epanerchomai) is used to describe the action of returning or coming back to a place or state. It conveys the idea of revisiting a previous location or condition. In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of physical movement, such as returning to a city or place, but can also imply a return to a previous state of being or condition.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, travel was a common part of life, whether for trade, military campaigns, or religious pilgrimages. The concept of returning was significant, as it often involved coming back to one's home or place of origin after a journey. In a spiritual sense, returning could also imply repentance or a return to faithfulness, themes that are prevalent in both Jewish and Christian teachings.
