Strong's Lexicon eispheró: To bring in, to lead into, to carry into Original Word: εἰσφέρω Word Origin: From the preposition εἰς (eis, meaning "into") and the verb φέρω (pheró, meaning "to carry" or "to bring"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for εἰσφέρω, the concept of leading or bringing into can be related to Hebrew verbs like בּוֹא (bo, Strong's H935), which means "to come" or "to bring." Usage: The verb εἰσφέρω (eispheró) is used in the New Testament to describe the action of bringing or leading something or someone into a particular place or situation. It often conveys the idea of introducing or causing something to enter. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of bringing or leading something into a space was common in various contexts, such as in religious rituals, legal proceedings, and everyday life. The act of bringing something into a space could imply authority, responsibility, or a change in status or condition. In the Jewish context, the idea of being led into temptation or trial was significant, reflecting a deep understanding of human vulnerability and the need for divine guidance and protection.
