Strong's Lexicon hodoiporia: Journey, travel, wayfaring Original Word: ὁδοιπορία Word Origin: From the Greek words ὁδός (hodos, meaning "way" or "road") and πορεία (poreia, meaning "journey" or "travel"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "hodoiporia," the concept of journeying is present in Hebrew words like דֶּרֶךְ (derek, meaning "way" or "path") and מַסָּע (massa, meaning "journey" or "march"). Usage: The term "hodoiporia" refers to the act of traveling or making a journey. It is used in the New Testament to describe the physical act of traveling from one place to another, often with a focus on the journey itself rather than the destination. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, travel was often arduous and time-consuming, involving long distances on foot or by animal. Roads were not always well-maintained, and travelers faced various dangers, including bandits and harsh weather. The concept of "hodoiporia" would have been familiar to early Christians, many of whom traveled extensively to spread the Gospel or to visit other believers.
