that I might come
| Root | ἔρχομαι (erchomai) |
| Core Meanings | come, go, arrive, approach, enter, appear |
| Semantic Range | To come, go, move toward, arrive, enter, appear, take place, or occur; used of physical movement, divine visitation, eschatological coming, or metaphorical arrival (e.g., of events or states). |
| Conceptual Significance | A foundational biblical verb describing movement toward a person or place, frequently used of Yeshua’s coming, the coming of the Kingdom, and divine visitation. It expresses both ordinary travel and profound theological themes of arrival, fulfillment, and redemptive intervention. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; second aorist active subjunctive; 1st person singular (Gr,V,SAA1,,S,). Though the lemma ἔρχομαι is middle in form in the present system, this aorist form is morphologically active. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form ἔλθω is a second aorist active subjunctive, first person singular. "That I might come" preserves the aorist aspect (a single, undefined act of coming), the subjunctive mood (potential or intended action), the active voice, and the first-person singular subject inherent in the verb ending. |
