Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H3318 יָצָא (yatsa): To go out, come out, exit, or bring out. This Hebrew verb is often used in the Old Testament to describe the act of leading out, particularly in the context of the Exodus narrative.
• H3319 יָצָא (yatsa): A variant form of the same root, also meaning to go out or bring out, used interchangeably with H3318 in various contexts.

These entries highlight the continuity between the Old and New Testament themes of deliverance and divine leadership, as seen through the use of ἐξάγω and its Hebrew counterparts.

Usage: The verb ἐξάγω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of leading or bringing someone or something out of a place. It often conveys the idea of deliverance or removal from a particular situation or location.

Context: The Greek verb ἐξάγω appears in several contexts within the New Testament, primarily in the narrative and didactic passages. It is used to describe both literal and metaphorical acts of leading out. For instance, in the context of the Exodus, it refers to God's deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt. In the New Testament, it is used in passages such as Acts 7:36, where Stephen recounts the history of Israel, saying, "He led them out, performing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt and at the Red Sea and for forty years in the wilderness."

The term is also employed in the context of Jesus' ministry and the early church. In Luke 24:50, it is used to describe Jesus leading His disciples out to Bethany before His ascension: "When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them." This usage underscores the role of Jesus as a leader and guide for His followers.

Theologically, ἐξάγω can be seen as a representation of divine guidance and deliverance, reflecting God's active role in leading His people from bondage to freedom, both physically and spiritually. It emphasizes the transition from a state of captivity or limitation to one of liberation and new beginnings.
