Context — Joseph's Journey to Galileegenerated
Matthew 2:22 describes how Joseph, upon learning that Archelaus was ruling in Judea, felt fear about returning there. This fear prompted him to heed divine instruction received in a dream, leading him to withdraw to Galilee. This narrative highlights the protective guidance of God over Jesus and His family during a time of danger, reminiscent of the protective actions of figures like Moses and David in the Old Testament.

The Key Word — χρηματισθεὶς, chrēmatizōgenerated
The Greek word χρηματίζω (i.e., *chrēmatizō*) means to announce or reveal something, often in a divine context. In this verse, it is used in the passive form, indicating that Joseph received a message from God. This highlights the importance of divine communication in guiding Joseph's actions.
This word is often associated with receiving divine instructions or warnings, as seen in other passages like Matthew 2:12. The passive voice suggests that the warning was imparted to Joseph rather than him seeking it out, emphasizing God's active role in directing the events surrounding Jesus's early life.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The Berean Standard Bible presents the verse with the phrase having been warned in a dream, which is echoed in the YLT and ASV. The KJV uses being warned of God in a dream, which adds a direct reference to God.
While most translations agree on the essence of the warning, the BBE phrases it as God having given him news of the danger in a dream, emphasizing the source of the warning. This variance highlights different emphases on the divine nature of the communication.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the sentence is ἐφοβήθη, he was afraid, which governs the structure. The sentence contains several phrases: an infinitive phrase describing what he was afraid to do, a participial phrase indicating the divine warning, and a prepositional phrase detailing where he withdrew.
The structure shows that the fear of returning to Judea is the driving force behind Joseph's actions, which are further clarified by the divine warning he received.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
χρηματίζω does not have a direct equivalent in the Septuagint, but it relates to the concept of divine communication found throughout the Old Testament. This connection underscores the continuity of God's guidance from the Old to the New Testament.
The absence of a direct Septuagint counterpart for this word highlights its specific usage in the context of divine warnings, which is particularly relevant in the New Testament narrative.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

The character of Archelaus was as cruel and treacherous as that of his father, and within a few months after his accession, he sent in his horsemen to disperse a multitude, and slew not less than 3,000 men.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Audiens autem quod Archelaus regnaret in Judæa pro Herode patre suo, timuit illo ire : et admonitus in somnis, secessit in partes Galilææ.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

The Greek word ἀκούω, transliterated as akouo, means 'to hear' or 'to listen.' It covers a range of meanings from simply hearing sounds to understanding and obeying what is said. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, including commands to listen (e.g., Mk 4:3) and references to understanding (e.g., 1 Cor 14:2). The lexicons do not show significant disagreement.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

The Greek word ὅτι (hoti) is a conjunction primarily meaning 'that' or 'because.' It introduces objective clauses, often following verbs of perception or declaration, and can also serve as a causal particle. The New Testament frequently employs it in this way, such as in Matthew 5:4-12. There is some variation in how lexicons describe its usage, particularly regarding its pleonastic function in direct discourse.

The Greek word Ἀρχέλαος (i.e., *Archelaus*) refers to a specific historical figure, the son of Herod the Great and a king in Judea, Samaria, and Idumea, mentioned in Matthew 2:22. It is derived from roots meaning 'people' and 'ruling.' The lexicons consistently identify it as a proper name without significant variation in interpretation.

ar-ke-la'-us (Archelaos, Mt 2:22): Son of Herod the Great by his wife Malthace. He succeeded on his father's death to the government of Judea, Samaria and Idumaea, but was deposed by the Romans for misgovernment in 6 AD. See HEROD.
Archelaus
Ruler of the people, son of Herod the Great, by Malthace, a Samaritan woman. He was educated along with his brother Antipas at Rome. He inherited from his father a third part of his kingdom viz., Idumea, Judea, and Samaria, and hence is called “king” (Matt. 2:22). It was for fear of him that Joseph and Mary turned aside on their way back from Egypt. Till a few days before his death Herod had named Antipas as his successor, but in his last moments he named Archelaus.
(prince of the people), son of Herod the Great by a Samaritan woman, Malthake, and, with his brother Antipas brought up at Rome. At the death of Herod (B.C. 4) his kingdom was divided between his three sons, Herod Antipas, Archelaus and Philip. Archelaus never properly bore the title of king, (Matthew 2:22) but only that of ethnarch. In the tenth year of his reign, or the ninth according to Dion Cassius, i.e. A.D. 6, a complaint was preferred against him by his brothers and his subjects on the ground of his tyranny, in consequence of which he was banished to Vienne in Gaul, where he is generally said to have died.

The Greek word βασιλεύω (i.e., *basileuō*) means to reign or rule, derived from βασιλεύς (king). It covers a range of meanings from literal kingship to metaphorical reign, including God's sovereignty and the future reign of Christians. The New Testament references include Matthew 2:22 and Revelation 5:10. Notably, the lexicons mention its use in both a literal and figurative sense, with some discussing its ingressive aorist form.

The Greek word ἐπί (epi) is a preposition that indicates a relationship of superposition, often translated as 'on,' 'upon,' or 'over.' It can govern the genitive, dative, or accusative cases, covering meanings related to place, time, authority, and various figurative uses. In the New Testament, it frequently appears with the accusative case, especially in contexts of motion or direction, such as in Matthew 14:28.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word Ἰουδαία (Ioudaia) refers to Judea, a region in Palestine named after the tribe of Judah. It encompasses both a narrower definition as the southern part of Palestine and a broader sense that includes all of Palestine. The New Testament frequently references Judea, often distinguishing it from neighboring regions like Samaria and Galilee.

Judea
After the Captivity this name was applied to the whole of the country west of the Jordan (Hag. 1:1, 14; 2:2). But under the Romans, in the time of Christ, it denoted the southernmost of the three divisions of Palestine (Matt. 2:1, 5; 3:1; 4:25), although it was also sometimes used for Palestine generally (Acts 28:21).
The province of Judea, as distinguished from Galilee and Samaria, included the territories of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, Dan, Simeon, and part of Ephraim. Under the Romans it was a part of the province of Syria, and was governed by a procurator.
Or land of the Jews, a name sometimes given to the southern part of the Holy Land; and sometimes, especially by foreigners, to the whole country. In the general division of Canaan among the tribes, the southeast part fell to the lot of the tribe of Judah. With the increasing ascendency of that tribe the name of Judah covered a more extended territory, 2Sa 5:5; and after the secession of the ten tribes, the kingdom of Judah included the territory of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, with a part of that of Simeon and Dan. Judah thus occupied all the southern portion of Palestine, while the northern part was called Galilee, and the middle Samaria. After the captivity, as most of those who returned were of the kingdom of Judah, the name Judah, or Judea, was applied generally to the whole of Palestine,

The Greek word ἀντί (anti) is a preposition primarily meaning 'over against' or 'opposite.' It conveys a range of meanings including 'instead of,' 'in place of,' and 'for the sake of.' In the New Testament, it appears in contexts of exchange, succession, and recompense, such as in Matthew 5:38 and Hebrews 12:16. Lexicons note its use as a prefix in various compounds, indicating contrast or substitution.
Ir has been often claimed, and in the interests of an all-important truth, namely the vicarious character of the sacrifice of the death of Christ, that in such passages as Met. 4i;-93 Tit. i. 14: 1 Tim. 11. 6; Gal. 111: 13+ Luke REM 19, 203 1 Pet. 11. 21: 11.133 iv.1; Rom. v.38; John x. 15, in all of which Christ is said to have died ὑπὲρ πάντων, UTEP ἡμῶν, ὑπὲρ τῶν προβάτων, and the like, ὑπέρ shall be accepted as equipollent with ἀντί. And then, it is further urged that, as ἀντί is the preposition first of equivalence (Homer, Jl. ix. 116, 117) and then of exchange (1 Cor. xi. 15; Heb. xii. 2, 16; Matt. v. 38), ὑπέρ must in all those passages be regarded as having the same force. Each of these, it is evident, would thus become a dictum probans for a truth, in itself most vital, namely that Christ suffered, not merely on our behalf and for our good, but also in our stead, and bearing…

PREP PREPosition
ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

πατήρ (patēr) means 'father' and can refer to a male parent, an ancestor, or even a metaphorical originator. It appears frequently in the New Testament, often in relation to God as the Father of believers, as well as in the context of respect for elders or teachers. The term can also denote a broader familial or ancestral connection, as seen in references to forefathers.

1. Immediate Male Ancestor:
Immediate male ancestor. The father in the Hebrew family, as in the Roman, had supreme rights over his children, could dispose of his daughter in marriage (Ge 29), arrange his son's marriage (Ge 24), sell his children (Ex 21:7), but not his daughter to a stranger (Ne 5:5), had power of life and death, as in the case of Isaac (Ge 22), Jephthah's daughter (Jud 11:34), the sacrificing of his children to Molech (Le 18:21; 20:3-5), etc. Respect, reverence and affection for…
Father
A name applied (1) to any ancestor (Deut. 1:11; 1 Kings 15:11; Matt. 3:9; 23:30, etc.); and (2) as a title of respect to a chief, ruler, or elder, etc. (Judg. 17:10; 18:19; 1 Sam. 10:12; 2 Kings 2:12; Matt. 23:9, etc.). (3) The author or beginner of anything is also so called; e.g., Jabal and Jubal (Gen. 4:20, 21; comp. Job 38:28).
The position and authority of the father as the head of the family are expressly assumed and sanctioned in Scripture, as a likeness of that of the Almighty over his creatures. It lies of course at the root of that so-called patriarchal government, (Genesis 3:16; 1 Corinthians 11:3) which was introductory to the more definite systems which followed, and which in part, but not wholly, superseded it. The father’s blessing was regarded as conferring special benefit, but his malediction special injury, on those on whom it fell, (Genesis 9:25,27; 27:27-40; 48:15,20; 49:1) ... and so also the sin of a parent was held to affect, in certain cases, the welfare of his descendants. (2 Kings…
Is often synonymous with ancestor, founder, or originator, as Ge 4:20-21 Joh 8:56 Ro 4:16. Joseph was a father to Pharoah, Ge 45:8, as his counselor and provider. God is the FATHER of men, as their Creator, De 32:6 Isa 63:16 64:8 Lu 3:38. But as we have forfeited the rights of children by our sins, it is only through Christ that we can call God by that endearing name, "our Father," Joh 20:17 Ro 8:15-17.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

The Greek word Ἡρῴδης refers to Herod, a name associated with several Jewish kings, including Herod the Great, Herod Antipas, and Herod Agrippa I. It is built from the root for 'hero' and appears frequently in the New Testament, particularly in the Gospels and Acts, where it identifies these historical figures.

Herod
her'-ud: The name Herod (Herodes) is a familiar one in the history of the Jews and of the early Christian church. The name itself signifies "heroic," a name not wholly applicable to the family, which was characterized by craft and knavery rather than by heroism. The fortunes of the Herodiam family are inseparably connected with the last flickerings of the flame of Judaism, as a national power, before it was forever extinguished in the great Jewish war of rebellion, 70 AD. The history of the Herodian family is not lacking in elements of greatness, but whatever these elements were and in whomsoever found, they were in every ease dimmed by the insufferable egotism which disfigured the family, root and branch. Some of the Herodian princes were undeniably talented; but these talents, wrongly used, left no marks for the good of the people of Israel. Of nearly all the kings of the house of…
(hero-like). This family though of Idumean origin and thus alien by race, was Jewish in faith. I. HEROD THE GREAT was the second son of Antipater, an Idumean, who was appointed procurator of Judea by Julius Caesar, B.C. 47. Immediately after his father’s elevation when only fifteen years old, he received the government of Galilee and shortly afterward that of Coele-Syria. Though Josephus says he was 15 years old at this time, it is generally conceded that there must be some mistake, as he lived to be 69 or 70 years old, and died B.C. 4; hence he must have been 25 years old at this time.--ED.) In B.C. 41 he was appointed by Antony tetrarch of Judea. Forced to abandon Judea the following year, he fled to Rome, and received the appointment of king of Judea. In the course of a few years, by the help of the Romans he took Jerusalem (B.C. 37), and completely established his authority…
The name of four princes, Idumaeans by descent, who governed either the whole or a part of Judea, under the Romans, and are mentioned in the New Testament.
1. HEROD THE GREAT, Mt 2:1-23 Lu 1:5. He was the son of Antipater, an Idumaean, who was in high favor with Julius Caesar. At the age of fifteen years, Herod was constituted by his father procurator of Galilee under Hyrcanus II, who was then at the head of the Jewish nation; while his brother Phasael was intrusted with the same authority over Judea. In these stations they were afterwards confirmed by Antony, with the title of tetrarch, about the year 41 B. C. The power of Hyrcanus had always been opposed by his brother Aristobulus; and now Antigonus, the son of the latter, continued in hostility to Herod, and was assisted by the…

φοβέω is derived from φόβος and primarily means to frighten or to be alarmed. It covers a range of meanings from being terrified to having reverential fear, as seen in various New Testament passages like Matthew 10:31 and Luke 1:50. The word is used in both active and passive forms, but in the New Testament, it appears only in the passive sense.

The Greek word ἐκεῖ (i.e., *ekei*) is an adverb meaning 'there' or 'in that place.' It is often used in the New Testament to indicate location and can also imply direction when paired with verbs of motion, functioning similarly to 'thither.' The word appears in various contexts, including euphemistic references to the dead. Notably, Thayer's entry mentions its use in pleonastic constructions.
ἐκεῖ, adv. of place, there; a. properly: Mt. ii. 13, 15; v. 24, and freq. In LK. xiii. 28 ἐκεῖ is not used for ev ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ foll. by ὅταν (at that time... when etc.), but means in that place whither ye have been banished; cf. Meyer ad loc. οἱ ἐκεῖ, se. ὄντες, Standing there, Mt. xxvi. 71 [Tr mrg. αὐτοὶ ἐκεῖ]. It answers to a relative adv.: οὗ τὸ πνεῦμα, ἐκεῖ ἐλευθερία, 2 Co. iii. 17 ἑαυτὸν ἔκδ. διδόναι τῷ Rec.; Mt. vi. 21; xviii. 20; xxiv. 28; Mk. vi.10; Lk. xii. 34; Hebraistically, where a preceding adv. or rel. pron. has already attracted the verb, ἐκεῖ is added to this verb pleonastically: Rey. xii. 6 GT Tr WH (ὅπου ἔχει ἐκεῖ τόπον), 14 (ὅπου τρέφεται ἐκεῖ) ; cf. Deut. iv. 5, 14, 26; 1 Mace. xiv. 34, and what was said p. 86", 5 on the pron. αὐτός after a relative. b. by a negligent use common also in the classics it stands after verbs of motion for ἐκεῖσε, thither: so after…

The Greek word ἀπέρχομαι (i.e., *aperchomai*) means to go away or depart, and can imply both leaving a place and arriving at another. It is used in various contexts, including literal departures and metaphorical senses, such as following someone. Notably, some lexicographers disagree on whether it can mean to return, with Thayer suggesting it does not inherently carry that meaning.

(halakh, yalakh, bo', yatsa'; ago, hupago, anabaino, erchomi, aperchomai, poreuomai): "Go" ("went," etc.) occurs very frequently in the English Bible, and is the translation of a great many different Hebrew and Greek terms. As the word implies movement of all kinds, physical and mental, it has naturally many applications.

κατά (kata) is a preposition used with the genitive and accusative cases, primarily meaning 'down' or 'against.' It indicates direction, motion, or relation, appearing in various contexts such as 'down from' (e.g., Mt 8:32) and 'against' (e.g., Mk 9:40). The word also conveys meanings like 'throughout' and 'according to.' Lexicons note its frequent use in the New Testament, with some variations in application.

PREP PREPosition
A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

The Greek word ὄναρ (onár) means 'a dream' and is used only in the nominative and accusative singular forms. It appears in the New Testament in several verses, including Matthew 1:20 and 27:19, often in the phrase 'κατ᾽ ὄναρ' meaning 'in a dream.' The word contrasts with waking visions and can also express something fleeting or unreal.
* ὄναρ, τό,
indecl., used only in nom, and acc. sing. (the other cases are supplied by ὄνειρος), a dream: κατ’ ὄ. (in later writers only), in a dream, Mt 1:20 2:12, 13, 19, 22 27:19.†
ὄναρ, τό, (an indecl. noun, used only in the nom. and acc. sing.; the other cases are taken from dvepés), [fr. Hom. down], a dream: κατ᾽ ὄναρ, in a dream, Mt. i. 20; ii. 12 sq. 19, 22; xxvii. 19, a later Greek phrase, for which Attic writ. used ὄναρ without κατά [q. v. 11. 2]; see Lob. ad Phryn. p. 422 sqq.; [Photius, Lex. p. 149, 25 sq. ].
ὄναρ. The phrase κατ᾽ ὄναρ which is found for the Attic ὄναρ sexies in Mt, is condemned by Photius (Zex. p. 149, 25 f.) as βάρβαρον παντελῶς : cf. Lob. Phryn. p. 422 ff. It occurs not infrequently in votive inscrr. but with the meaning ‘‘in consequence of a dream,’ and not ‘‘in a dream,” e.g. Sy// 780 (= 8 1147) (ii/iii A.D.) Οὔλπιοι ΝΝείκανδρος καὶ Σωτήptos “Yyela Σωτ[είζρῃ Συνοδοι[πόρ]ῳ κατ᾽ ὄναρ: see also Deissmann .5.5, p. 253. A new literary ex. of the word occurs in Herodas 1. 11 οὐδ᾽ ὄναρ: cf.

Dream
God has frequently made use of dreams in communicating his will to men. The most remarkable instances of this are recorded in the history of Jacob (Gen. 28:12; 31:10), Laban (31:24), Joseph (37:9-11), Gideon (Judg. 7), and Solomon (1 Kings 3:5). Other significant dreams are also recorded, such as those of Abimelech (Gen. 20:3-7), Pharaoh’s chief butler and baker (40:5), Pharaoh (41:1-8), the Midianites (Judg. 7:13), Nebuchadnezzar (Dan. 2:1; 4:10, 18), the wise men from the east (Matt. 2:12), and Pilate’s wife (27:19).
The orientals, and in particular the Jews, greatly regarded dreams, and applied for their interpretation to those who undertook to explain them. We see the antiquity of this custom in the history of Pharaoh’s butler and baker, Ge 40:1-23; and Pharaoh himself and Nebuchadnezzar are also instances. God expressly forbade his people to observe dreams, and to consult explainers of them. He condemned to death all who pretended to have prophetic dreams, even though what they foretold came to pass, if they had any tendency to promote idolatry, De 13:1-3. But they were not forbidden, when they thought they had a significant dream, to address the prophets of the Lord, or the high priest in his ephod, to have it explained. The Lord frequently made known his will in dreams, and enabled…

The Greek word ἀναχωρέω (i.e., *anachōreō*) means to go back or withdraw, often used in contexts of retreating from danger or leaving a place. It appears in several New Testament passages, including Matthew and Acts, where it conveys the idea of departing or avoiding confrontation. The lexicons consistently emphasize its use in both literal and metaphorical senses, but they do not show significant disagreement on its meanings.
ἀνα-χωρέω, -ῶ; 1 aor. ἀνεχώρησα; (freq. in Grk. writ.) ; 1. to go back, return: Mt. ii. 12 sq. [al. refer this to next head]. 2. towithdraw; a. univ., so as to leave room: Mt. ix. 24. b. of those who through fear seek some other place, or shun sight: Mt. ii. 14, 22; iv.12; xii. 15; xiv. 13; xv. 21; xxvii. 5; Mk. iii. 7; Jn. vi. 15 [Tdf. φεύγει}; Acts xxiii. 19 (κατ᾽ ἰδίαν) ; xxvi. 31.
ἀναχωρέω is applied to the ‘‘ falling” of the Nile in P Magd τ115 (B.C. 221) τοῦ ὕδατος ἀναχωροῦντος, as is the substantive in P Petr IT. 13 (19)® (c. B.c. 252) (= Witkowski, p. 19) τὴ]ν ἀνα[χώ]ρησιν τοῦ ποταμοῦ. In the census return BGU II. 4475 (A.D. 173-4) the name of a man is included who was at the time ἐν ἀναχωρήσι, “away from home” (‘‘ bleibende Entfernung,” Wessely Aarazis, p. 34). See Wilcken Ostr. i. p. 448, and for the same meaning of “absence” cf. P Tebt Il. 353° (A.D. 192) ἀπ᾽ ἀναχωρήσεως κατισεληλυθώς. In P Tebt I. 41 (c.

εἰς is a preposition meaning 'into' or 'to,' used with the accusative case. It indicates direction, entrance, or limit, applicable to place, time, and figurative purposes. The New Testament frequently employs it to express movement toward locations or states, as seen in passages like Matthew 8:23. It can also denote relationships or results, such as 'for' or 'among.'

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

μέρος (meros) means a part, share, or portion, often in relation to a whole. It can refer to physical divisions, such as regions or sections, as well as metaphorical uses like destiny or role in a situation. The New Testament uses it in various contexts, including John 13:8 and Acts 19:27, to denote both literal and figurative parts. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement.
μέρος, -ous, τό, (μείρομαι to share, receive one’s due portion), [fr. Pind., Aeschyl., Hdt. down], a part; i.e. at a part due or assigned to one, (Germ. Antheil): ἀφαιρεῖν τὸ μέρος τινὸς (gen. of pers.) ἀπό or ἔκ twos (gen. of the thing), Rev. xxii.19; ἔχειν μέρος ἐν with dat. of the thing, Rev. xx. 6; μέρος ἔχειν μετά twos, (participation in the same thing, i. e.) to have part (fellowship) with one, Jn. xiii. 8; hence, as sometimes in class.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

The word Γαλιλαία (i.e., *Galilaia*) refers to Galilee, a northern region of Palestine during New Testament times. It is derived from Hebrew, meaning 'the circle' or 'district.' The term appears in several verses, including Matthew 4:15 and Matthew 15:29, where it is associated with both the region and the Sea of Galilee.

1. Galilee of the Nations:
Kedesh, the city of refuge, is described as lying in Galilee, in Mt. Naphtali (Jos 20:7; compare Jos 21:32). The name seems originally to have referred to the territory of Naphtali. Joshua's victorious campaign in the north (Jos 11), and, subsequently, the triumph of the northern tribes under Deborah and Barak (Jud 4 f) gave Israel supremacy; yet the tribe of Naphtali was not able to drive out all the former inhabitants of the land (Jud 1:33). In the time of Solomon the name applied to a much wider region, including the territory of Asher. In this land lay the cities given by Solomon to Hiram (
Galilee
Circuit. Solomon rewarded Hiram for certain services rendered him by the gift of an upland plain among the mountains of Naphtali. Hiram was dissatisfied with the gift, and called it “the land of Cabul” (q.v.). The Jews called it Galil. It continued long to be occupied by the original inhabitants, and hence came to be called “Galilee of the Gentiles” (Matt. 4:15), and also “Upper Galilee,” to distinguish it from the extensive addition afterwards made to it toward the south, which was usually called “Lower Galilee.” In the time of our Lord, Galilee embraced more than one-third of Western Palestine, extending “from Dan on the north, at the base of Mount Hermon, to the ridges of Carmel and Gilboa on the south, and from the Jordan valley on the east away across the splendid plains of Jezreel and Acre to the shores of the…
(circuit). This name, which in the Roman age was applied to a large province, seems to have been originally confined to a little "circuit" of country round Kedesh-Naphtali, in which were situated the twenty towns given by Solomon to Hiram king of Tyre as payment for his work in conveying timber from Lebanon to Jerusalem. (Joshua 20:7; 1 Kings 9:11) In the time of our Lord all Palestine was divided into three provinces, Judea, Samaria and Galilee. (Luke 17:11; Acts 9:31) Joseph. B.J. iii. 3. The latter included the whole northern section of the country, including the ancient territories of Issachar, Zebulun, Asher and Naphtali. On the west it was bounded by the territory of…
In the time of Christ, included all the northern part of Palestine lying west of the Jordan and north of Samaria. Before the exile the name seems to have been applied only to a small tract bordering on the northern limits, 1Ki 9:11. Galilee, in the time of Christ, was divided into Upper and Lower, the former lying north of the territory of the tribe of Zebulun, and abounding in mountains; the latter being more level and fertile, and very populous; the whole comprehending the four tribes of Issachar, Zebulun, Naphtali, and Asher.
