Strong's Lexicon eperchomai: To come upon, to overtake, to approach Original Word: ἐπέρχομαι Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: eperchomai Pronunciation: eh-per'-khom-ahee Phonetic Spelling: (ep-er'-khom-ahee) Definition: To come upon, to overtake, to approach Meaning: I come to, arrive, come on, come upon, attack. Word Origin: From the preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and the verb ἔρχομαι (erchomai, meaning "to come" or "to go"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is בּוֹא (bo, Strong's H935), which means "to come" or "to go." Usage: The Greek verb ἐπέρχομαι (eperchomai) is used to describe the action of something coming upon or overtaking someone or something. It often conveys a sense of suddenness or unexpectedness, and can refer to both physical and metaphorical occurrences. In the New Testament, it is used to describe events or conditions that come upon individuals or groups, such as trials, blessings, or divine interventions. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of something "coming upon" a person could carry both positive and negative connotations. It might refer to the arrival of a guest or a benefactor, or it could describe the onset of a storm or an enemy attack. In the Jewish context, the idea of divine intervention or judgment "coming upon" people was a familiar theme, reflecting the belief in God's active role in the world. HELPS Word-studies 1904 epérxomai (from 1909 /epí, "on, fitting" and 2064/erxomai, "come") – properly, come upon, i.e. what comes and leaves its appropriate, inevitable effects that build on the particular coming. (Note the prefix epi, showing the action as the "epi-center" of what happens.) 1904/epérxomai ("come upon, apt-coming") stresses the "fitting results" of the coming – even more than the initial impact of the coming itself. [1904 (epérxomai) is an intensification of the base-term (2064/erxomai, "coming").] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin from epi and erchomai Definition to come to or upon NASB Translation attacks (1), came (1), come (5), coming (2).
