SIBI-P1 G4198-35
that I might journey forth
| Root | πορεύομαι (poreuomai) |
| Core Meanings | to go, to journey, to travel, to depart, to go one’s way, to traverse |
| Semantic Range | to travel from one place to another; to depart; to go one’s way; to conduct one’s life; to proceed; figuratively, to die or pass away |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used in narrative for physical travel, the term also carries covenantal and ethical nuance—describing how one "walks" or conducts one’s life. In apostolic mission contexts, it underscores purposeful movement under divine direction. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, aorist (second) subjunctive, 1st person singular; deponent in usage (middle in sense though active in tagging). The aorist presents the action as a complete event; subjunctive expresses purpose, intention, or contingency. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist tense conveys a simple, whole act of going, reflected by "journey forth" as a complete movement. The subjunctive mood is expressed by "that I might," marking possibility or purpose. Though tagged active in form, πορεύομαι is deponent (middle in meaning), so "journey" preserves the personal, self-involved sense of going one’s own way. |
