Strong's Lexicon metairó: To remove, to transfer, to change position Original Word: μεταίρω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: metairó Pronunciation: meh-TIE-ro Phonetic Spelling: (met-ah'-ee-ro) Definition: I change my position, depart, remove. Meaning: To transfer, to remove, to change place, to depart. Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "μετά" (meta, meaning "after" or "beyond") and the verb "αἴρω" (airō, meaning "to lift" or "to take up"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for μεταίρω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that convey movement or transition, such as עָבַר (abar, Strong's 5674), meaning "to pass over" or "to cross," and נָסַע (nasa, Strong's 5265), meaning "to journey" or "to depart." These Hebrew terms similarly express the idea of moving from one place to another, both physically and metaphorically, within the Old Testament context. Usage: The verb μεταίρω is used in the context of moving or transferring from one place to another. It can imply a physical relocation or a metaphorical transition. Context: The Greek verb μεταίρω appears in the New Testament with the sense of moving or transferring from one location to another. It is often used to describe a physical relocation, such as moving from one city to another or departing from a place. The term can also carry a metaphorical meaning, indicating a change in state or condition. In the Berean Standard Bible, μεταίρω is used to convey the idea of transition or movement, emphasizing the action of leaving or changing one's position. In the New Testament, the concept of μεταίρω can be seen in the broader theological context of spiritual transition, such as moving from a state of sin to righteousness or from earthly life to eternal life. This aligns with the biblical theme of transformation and renewal, where believers are called to leave behind their old ways and embrace a new life in Christ. The use of μεταίρω reflects the dynamic nature of the Christian journey, where believers are continually called to move forward in their faith, leaving behind what is past and pressing on toward the goal of spiritual maturity and eternal life with God.
