Strong's Lexicon metakineó: To move away, to remove, to shift Original Word: μετακινέω Word Origin: From the Greek words "meta" (meaning "after" or "beyond") and "kineó" (meaning "to move"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves terms like נָדַד (nadad), meaning "to move" or "to wander," and עָבַר (avar), meaning "to pass over" or "to remove." Usage: The verb μετακινέω (metakineó) is used to describe the action of moving something from one place to another, often implying a significant or complete removal. In a metaphorical sense, it can refer to the shifting of beliefs, positions, or conditions. The term suggests a change that is not merely superficial but involves a fundamental alteration or displacement. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greek world, the concept of moving or shifting was often associated with physical relocation, such as moving a household or changing one's place of residence. In a philosophical or rhetorical context, it could also refer to changing one's mind or altering one's stance on an issue. The New Testament usage of μετακινέω reflects these broader cultural understandings, applying them to spiritual and moral contexts.
