Strong's Lexicon hexés: Next, following, in order, subsequently Original Word: ἑξῆς Word Origin: Derived from the Greek preposition "ἐκ" (ek), meaning "out of" or "from," combined with a form of the verb "ἔχω" (echo), meaning "to have" or "to hold." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "hexés," the concept of sequence or order can be found in Hebrew words like "אַחַר" (achar, Strong's H310), meaning "after" or "behind," which conveys a similar sense of following or subsequent order. Usage: The adverb "hexés" is used to denote sequence or order, often translated as "next" or "following." It implies a continuation or progression from one event or action to another. In the New Testament, it is used to indicate the next step in a series of events or actions. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, order and sequence were important in both daily life and philosophical thought. The concept of progression and logical sequence was integral to understanding events, storytelling, and even philosophical arguments. The use of "hexés" in the New Testament reflects this cultural emphasis on order and progression, particularly in narrative contexts.
