Strong's Lexicon exairó: To take away, to remove, to lift up, to destroy. Original Word: ἐξαίρω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐκ" (ek, meaning "out of") and the verb "αἴρω" (airó, meaning "to lift" or "to take up"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves verbs like "סוּר" (sur, meaning "to turn aside" or "to remove") and "נָשָׂא" (nasa, meaning "to lift" or "to carry away"). Usage: The verb "exairó" is used in the New Testament to convey the action of removing or taking away something, often with a sense of force or decisiveness. It can imply a physical removal or a more abstract sense of taking away authority or influence. The term is sometimes used in contexts of judgment or divine intervention, where God or His agents remove obstacles or enemies. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of removing or taking away was often associated with authority and power. The act of lifting or removing could signify a change in status or condition, whether in a legal, social, or spiritual sense. In the Jewish context, the removal of sin or impurity was a significant theme, often associated with sacrificial practices and divine forgiveness.
