Strong's Lexicon propempó: To send forth, to accompany, to escort Original Word: προπέμπω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: propempó Pronunciation: pro-PEM-po Phonetic Spelling: (prop-em'-po) Definition: I send forward, accompany, equip for a journey. Meaning: To send forth, to accompany, to escort on a journey, to assist in travel. Word Origin: From the combination of πρό (pro, "before") and πέμπω (pempō, "to send"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for προπέμπω, the concept of sending or accompanying someone on a journey can be related to several Hebrew terms that involve sending or guiding, such as שָׁלַח (shalach, Strong's Hebrew 7971), which means "to send," and נָחָה (nachah, Strong's Hebrew 5148), meaning "to lead" or "to guide." These terms capture the essence of providing direction and support, akin to the New Testament usage of προπέμπω. Usage: The term προπέμπω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of sending someone on their way, often with provisions or support for their journey. It implies a sense of hospitality and care for the traveler. Context: The Greek verb προπέμπω appears in several New Testament passages, illustrating the early Christian practice of supporting and sending forth individuals on their missions or journeys. This term conveys more than just the act of sending; it includes the idea of providing necessary support and encouragement. In Acts 15:3, the early church in Antioch sends Paul and Barnabas on their way to Jerusalem, demonstrating the communal support for their mission: "Sent on their way by the church, they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, recounting the conversion of the Gentiles and bringing great joy to all the brothers." Similarly, in Acts 20:38, the Ephesian elders accompany Paul to the ship, showing their affection and support: "They were especially grieved by his statement that they would never see his face again. Then they accompanied him to the ship." In Romans 15:24, Paul expresses his hope to be assisted on his journey to Spain: "I hope to see you on my way and to be assisted by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while." The use of προπέμπω in these contexts highlights the importance of community and mutual support within the early church. It reflects a commitment to the mission and the well-being of those who are sent out to spread the Gospel.
