Berean Strong's Lexicon apeimi: To be away, to be absent Original Word: ἀπείμι Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and εἰμί (eimi, meaning "to be"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀπείμι, the concept of absence can be related to Hebrew terms like עָזַב (azab, Strong's H5800), meaning "to leave" or "forsake," which conveys a similar sense of being away or absent. Usage: The Greek verb ἀπείμι (apeimi) is used to denote the state of being absent or away from a particular place or situation. It is often used in contexts where physical presence is lacking, emphasizing the absence of a person from a specific location or event. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, physical presence was often necessary for participation in social, religious, and civic activities. The concept of being absent carried significant implications, especially in legal and communal contexts. In the early Christian communities, the absence of a leader or member could impact the functioning and spiritual life of the group, highlighting the importance of presence and fellowship.
