Strong's Lexicon porróteron: Further, farther Original Word: πορρώτερον Word Origin: Comparative form of the Greek word πόρρω (porrō), meaning "far" or "distant." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for πορρώτερον, the concept of distance is expressed in Hebrew through words like רָחוֹק (raḥoq), meaning "far" or "distant," which can be found in various Old Testament passages. Usage: The adverb πορρώτερον (porróteron) is used to indicate a greater degree of distance, either in a physical or metaphorical sense. It is often translated as "further" or "farther" in English. In the New Testament, it is used to describe a progression or movement away from a point of reference. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, distance was a significant concept, both in terms of physical travel and metaphorical separation. The use of comparative forms like πορρώτερον reflects the importance of gradation and progression in Greek thought. Understanding spatial relationships was crucial in a society where travel was often on foot or by animal, and where philosophical and theological ideas frequently employed spatial metaphors.
