Strong's Lexicon prosporeuomai: To approach, to go towards, to come near Original Word: προσπορεύομαι Word Origin: From the preposition πρός (pros, meaning "toward" or "to") and the verb πορεύομαι (poreuomai, meaning "to go" or "to journey"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves verbs like קָרַב (qarab, meaning "to draw near" or "to approach") and נָגַשׁ (nagash, meaning "to come near" or "to approach"), which are used in the Old Testament to describe drawing near to God, often in the context of worship or seeking divine intervention. Usage: The verb προσπορεύομαι is used in the New Testament to describe the action of approaching or coming near to someone or something. It often implies a purposeful movement towards a person or place, indicating an intention to engage or interact. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, physical movement towards someone often carried social and relational significance. Approaching a person could indicate a desire for communication, a request for assistance, or an intention to show respect. In the context of the New Testament, approaching Jesus or His disciples often signified a desire for healing, teaching, or discipleship.
