Berean Strong's Lexicon emperipateó: To walk about, to walk among Original Word: ἐμπεριπατέω Word Origin: From the preposition ἐν (en, meaning "in" or "among") and the verb περιπατέω (peripateó, meaning "to walk" or "to walk around"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is הָלַךְ (halak, Strong's H1980), which means "to walk" or "to go." This term is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe one's conduct or way of life, as seen in passages like Micah 6:8 (BSB): "He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?" Usage: The verb ἐμπεριπατέω is used to describe the act of walking around or walking among. It conveys a sense of movement within a particular area or among a group of people. In the New Testament, it often implies a manner of living or conducting oneself in the presence of others. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, walking was a common mode of transportation and a metaphor for one's way of life or conduct. The concept of "walking" in a moral or ethical sense was prevalent in both Jewish and Greco-Roman thought. Walking among others could imply fellowship, community, and shared life experiences. In the context of the early Christian church, it often referred to living out one's faith in the community of believers.
