Berean Strong's Lexicon allachothen: from another place, elsewhere Original Word: ἀλλαχόθεν Word Origin: Derived from ἄλλος (allos), meaning "other" or "another." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀλλαχόθεν, the concept of coming from another place can be related to Hebrew terms like מִמָּקוֹם אַחֵר (mimmaqom acher), meaning "from another place." Usage: The Greek adverb ἀλλαχόθεν (allachothen) is used to indicate origin or direction from a different place. It conveys the idea of coming from or moving to a location that is distinct from the current or previously mentioned one. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, the use of directional adverbs like ἀλλαχόθεν reflects the geographical and cultural awareness of the ancient world. Travel and movement were significant aspects of life, and such terms helped to specify the origin or destination of people and events. The concept of coming from "another place" also carries metaphorical implications, often used to describe spiritual or divine origins in contrast to earthly ones.
