Strong's Lexicon hodoiporeó: To travel, to journey, to go on a journey Original Word: ὁδοιπορέω Word Origin: From the Greek words ὁδός (hodos, meaning "way" or "road") and πορεύομαι (poreuomai, meaning "to go" or "to travel"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὁδοιπορέω, the concept of journeying or traveling can be found in Hebrew words such as דֶּרֶךְ (derek, Strong's H1870), meaning "way" or "path," and נָסַע (nasa, Strong's H5265), meaning "to journey" or "to travel." Usage: The verb ὁδοιπορέω (hodoiporeó) is used in the New Testament to describe the act of traveling or going on a journey. It often implies a purposeful movement from one place to another, typically on foot, reflecting the common mode of travel in the ancient world. This term can be used both literally, to describe physical travel, and metaphorically, to describe a spiritual journey or progress in one's faith. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, travel was a significant part of life, whether for trade, pilgrimage, or communication. Roads were essential for the spread of ideas, including the early Christian message. The act of traveling was often arduous and fraught with danger, requiring preparation and endurance. The concept of journeying also held metaphorical significance, representing life's spiritual and moral journey.
