Original Word: παραγώ
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: paragó
Pronunciation: pä-rä-gō'
Phonetic Spelling: (par-ag'-o)
Definition: To lead by, to pass by, to bring along
Meaning: I pass by, depart, pass away.

Word Origin: From παρά (para, meaning "beside" or "alongside") and ἄγω (ago, meaning "to lead" or "to bring").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "paragó," the concept of passing by or leading alongside can be seen in Hebrew verbs like עָבַר (abar, Strong's H5674), which means "to pass over" or "to pass by."

Usage: The verb "paragó" is used in the New Testament to describe the action of leading or bringing something or someone alongside or past a certain point. It can imply a physical movement or a metaphorical passage, such as the passing of time or events.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of leading or bringing something alongside was common in various contexts, from military maneuvers to everyday travel. The term "paragó" would have been understood in both literal and figurative senses, reflecting the movement of people, goods, or time. In the New Testament, this term often carries a deeper spiritual or metaphorical meaning, reflecting the transient nature of life and the unfolding of God's plan.
