Strong's Lexicon ekpempó: To send out, to dispatch Original Word: ἐκπέμπω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐκ" (ek, meaning "out of") and the verb "πέμπω" (pempo, meaning "to send"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves the verb "שָׁלַח" (shalach), which also means "to send" or "to dispatch." This Hebrew term is used in similar contexts, such as sending messengers or prophets. Usage: The verb "ekpempó" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of sending out or dispatching someone or something with a specific purpose. It often implies a sense of mission or commission, where the one being sent is entrusted with a task or message. This term is used in contexts where individuals are sent out with authority or under divine guidance. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, sending out messengers or emissaries was a common practice for communication, especially in political and military contexts. The concept of sending out also had religious connotations, as prophets, apostles, and other religious figures were often seen as being sent by God or a deity to deliver messages or perform specific tasks. In the early Christian context, being sent out was integral to the spread of the Gospel and the establishment of the Church.
