Strong's Lexicon allachothen: from another place, elsewhere Original Word: ἀλλαχόθεν Part of Speech: Adverb Transliteration: allachothen Pronunciation: al-lakh-OTH-en Phonetic Spelling: (al-lakh-oth'-en) Definition: from another place, by another way. Meaning: The term ἀλλαχόθεν means "from another place" or "from elsewhere." Word Origin: Derived from ἄλλος (allos), meaning "other" or "another." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀλλαχόθεν, the concept of coming from another place or direction can be related to Hebrew terms that describe movement or origin, such as מִמָּקוֹם אַחֵר (mimmaqom acher), meaning "from another place." However, specific Strong's Hebrew entries may vary based on context and usage in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: This adverb is used in the New Testament to indicate origin or direction from a different location or source. Context: The Greek word ἀλλαχόθεν appears in the New Testament to convey the idea of coming from a different place or direction. It is used to emphasize the contrast between one origin and another, often highlighting the legitimacy or authenticity of a source or action. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀλλαχόθεν is found in John 10:1, where Jesus speaks about the true shepherd entering the sheepfold by the gate, as opposed to a thief or robber who enters "from elsewhere." The verse reads: "Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in by another way, is a thief and a robber." This usage underscores the importance of rightful access and authority, contrasting the legitimate shepherd with those who seek to enter by illegitimate means. The imagery of the sheepfold and the gate serves as a metaphor for spiritual leadership and the rightful approach to God's people. The term ἀλλαχόθεν, therefore, carries a connotation of authenticity and rightful origin, often used to distinguish between true and false claims or actions. It serves as a reminder of the importance of following the correct path and recognizing the rightful authority in spiritual matters.
