Strong's Lexicon huperekeina: Beyond, further, more than Original Word: ὑπερέκεινα Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition ὑπέρ (huper, meaning "beyond" or "above") and the adverb ἔκεινα (ekeina, meaning "those things" or "there"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "huperekeina," the concept of going beyond or surpassing can be found in Hebrew words like עָבַר (abar, Strong's H5674), meaning "to pass over" or "to go beyond," and יָתַר (yathar, Strong's H3498), meaning "to remain" or "to be left over," which can imply abundance or excess. Usage: The adverb "huperekeina" is used to denote something that is beyond or further than a certain point or measure. It conveys the idea of surpassing or exceeding a particular boundary or limit. In the context of the New Testament, it often implies going beyond what is expected or required, whether in terms of physical distance, moral standards, or spiritual understanding. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of going "beyond" was often associated with excellence and virtue. Philosophers and moralists would speak of going beyond the ordinary to achieve higher moral and ethical standards. In the Jewish context, the idea of surpassing the law or going beyond the letter of the law to fulfill its spirit was a significant theme, especially in the teachings of Jesus.
