Strong's Lexicon huperbainó: To transgress, to go beyond, to overstep Original Word: ὑπερβαίνω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ὑπέρ (huper, meaning "over" or "beyond") and the verb βαίνω (baino, meaning "to go" or "to walk"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of transgression in the Hebrew Bible is often represented by words such as פָּשַׁע (pasha, Strong's Hebrew 6586) and עָבַר (abar, Strong's Hebrew 5674), both of which convey the idea of rebellion or crossing over a boundary. Usage: The verb "huperbainó" is used to describe the act of going beyond a set boundary or limit, often in a moral or ethical sense. It implies a deliberate action of overstepping or transgressing established laws or commandments. In the New Testament, it is used to convey the idea of violating God's laws or principles. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, boundaries and limits were significant in both physical and moral contexts. The concept of transgressing boundaries was often associated with hubris, or excessive pride, which was frowned upon in both Greek and Jewish cultures. In the Jewish context, the Law (Torah) was seen as a divine boundary set by God, and to transgress it was to sin against God.
