Strong's Lexicon eisporeuomai: To enter, to go into, to come in Original Word: εἰσπορεύομαι Word Origin: From the preposition εἰς (eis, meaning "into") and the verb πορεύομαι (poreuomai, meaning "to go" or "to journey"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is בּוֹא (bo, Strong's H935), which means "to come" or "to go in." Usage: The verb εἰσπορεύομαι is used in the New Testament to describe the action of entering or going into a place. It often conveys the physical act of moving from one location to another, but it can also have metaphorical implications, such as entering into a state or condition. The term is used in various contexts, including entering cities, homes, or even entering into life or the kingdom of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of entering or going into a place was significant, as it often involved crossing boundaries that could be physical, social, or religious. The act of entering a city or a home could imply acceptance, hospitality, or the beginning of a new phase. In Jewish culture, entering the temple or the Promised Land held deep spiritual significance, symbolizing communion with God and the fulfillment of His promises.
