The term "therefrom" is an adverb used in the Bible to indicate the origin or source from which something is derived or proceeds. It is often used in the context of describing actions, consequences, or derivations that follow from a particular place, event, or condition. In the Berean Standard Bible , "therefrom" is used to convey a sense of continuity or connection between an antecedent and its subsequent outcome.

Biblical Usage

1. Old Testament Context: In the Old Testament, "therefrom" is frequently used in legal and ritual contexts, particularly in the books of the Law. It often describes the process of deriving something from a specified source, such as offerings or consequences of actions.

· Leviticus 2:9 : "The priest shall then remove the memorial portion from the grain offering and burn it on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD."

In this context, "therefrom" implies the action of taking a portion from the grain offering to be presented to God, highlighting the process of selection and dedication.

2. New Testament Context: While the term "therefrom" is less common in the New Testament, the concept it represents is still present. It often relates to the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, where actions and their spiritual implications are derived from the teachings of Christ.

· Matthew 7:16-17 : "By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit."

Here, the principle of deriving outcomes "therefrom" is illustrated through the metaphor of trees and their fruit, emphasizing the natural consequences of one's actions and character.

Theological Implications

The use of "therefrom" in Scripture underscores the principle of cause and effect, a foundational concept in biblical theology. It reflects the understanding that actions, whether righteous or sinful, have inherent consequences that proceed from them. This principle is evident in the moral and ethical teachings of the Bible, where obedience to God's commandments results in blessings, while disobedience leads to judgment.

Practical Application

For believers, the concept of "therefrom" serves as a reminder of the importance of aligning one's actions with biblical principles. It encourages a life of integrity and faithfulness, knowing that the outcomes of one's life are directly connected to the choices made. This understanding calls Christians to live in a manner that reflects the teachings of Christ, producing good fruit as evidence of their faith.

In summary, "therefrom" in the Bible highlights the connection between source and outcome, action and consequence, and serves as a guiding principle for living a life that honors God.
