Strong's Lexicon antiparerchomai: To pass by on the other side, to avoid Original Word: ἀντιπαρέρχομαι Word Origin: From ἀντί (anti, meaning "against" or "opposite") and παρέρχομαι (parerchomai, meaning "to pass by" or "to pass away") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀντιπαρέρχομαι, the concept of neglect or avoidance can be related to Hebrew terms such as עָבַר (abar, Strong's H5674), meaning "to pass over" or "to pass by." Usage: The verb ἀντιπαρέρχομαι is used to describe the action of deliberately passing by on the opposite side, often with the implication of avoiding or neglecting. It conveys a sense of intentional avoidance or disregard, particularly in situations where one might be expected to engage or assist. Cultural and Historical Background: In the cultural context of the New Testament, the act of passing by on the other side could be seen as a failure to fulfill social or religious obligations, especially in a community-oriented society where mutual aid and hospitality were highly valued. The term reflects the societal expectations of care and responsibility towards others, particularly those in need.
