Strong's Lexicon (Not Used): (Not Used) (Not Used) Part of Speech: Transliteration: (Not Used) (Not Used)Definition: Not Used Meaning: The term "metaxu" is an adverb meaning "between," "in the midst," or "among." It is used to denote a position or state that is intermediate or in the middle of two points or entities. Word Origin: Derived from μετά (meta, meaning "with" or "after") and ξύ (xu, an ancient form related to "between" or "amidst"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Hebrew 996: בֵּין (beyn) • meaning "between" or "among." • Strong's Hebrew 8432: תָּוֶךְ (tavek) • meaning "midst" or "middle." These Hebrew terms reflect similar concepts of intermediate positioning and are used throughout the Old Testament to describe spatial, relational, and temporal intervals. Usage: The word "metaxu" is not directly used in the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) but is understood in the context of its meaning as "between" or "among." It is often used in classical Greek literature to describe spatial or temporal intervals. Context: The Greek adverb "metaxu" is a term that conveys the concept of being in an intermediate position, either spatially or temporally. While it does not appear in the Berean Standard Bible, its conceptual usage can be seen in various biblical narratives where the idea of being "between" is significant. For example, the concept of being "between" two covenants, as discussed in the New Testament, reflects the transitional period from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant through Christ. Similarly, the notion of being "among" the people is a recurring theme in the Gospels, where Jesus is often described as being in the midst of His disciples or the crowds, emphasizing His role as the mediator and the central figure in the divine plan of salvation. In a broader theological context, "metaxu" can symbolize the human experience of living between the "already" and the "not yet" of God's kingdom. Believers are called to live in the present world while anticipating the future fulfillment of God's promises. This intermediate state is marked by faith, hope, and the active presence of the Holy Spirit guiding the church.
