SIBI-P1 G2064-18
to come (as a whole act)
| Root | ἔρχομαι (erchomai) |
| Core Meanings | to come, to go, to arrive, to enter, to move toward, to appear |
| Semantic Range | to come toward, to go, to arrive, to enter, to appear, to take place, to happen, to attain, to transition from one state to another |
| Conceptual Significance | ἔρχομαι is central to biblical narrative and theology, marking divine visitation, the coming of the Messiah, human approach to God, and eschatological expectation. The aorist infinitive often frames decisive moments—events of arrival or intervention within God’s redemptive purposes. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, infinitive mood. The aorist stem ἐλθ- supplies the tense form for ἔρχομαι, which is deponent in the present system. |
| Rendering Rationale | The lemma ἔρχομαι denotes movement toward a place or person—coming, arriving, or entering. The form ἐλθεῖν is aorist active infinitive, expressing the action of coming as a single, complete event rather than an ongoing process; the rendering "to come (as a whole act)" reflects both the root meaning and the aorist aspect of the infinitive. |
