SIBI-P1 G4198-33

Journey yourselves forth!

Rootπορεύομαι (poreuomai)
Core Meaningsto travel, to journey, to go on one’s way, to depart, to walk, to conduct one’s life
Semantic Rangeto go, depart, travel, journey, proceed, conduct oneself, live out one’s way, pass from life (die)
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, πορεύομαι often signifies more than physical movement; it can denote a life-path or obedient response to divine command. As an imperative, it frequently introduces mission, obedience, or decisive departure in accordance with God’s purposes.
Morphological NotesVerb, aorist (second), imperative, 2nd person plural; passive form with deponent (middle) meaning. The aorist imperative conveys a simple, decisive command directed to multiple hearers.
Rendering RationaleThe verb πορεύομαι fundamentally denotes traveling or going on one’s way. The form πορευθῆτε is aorist imperative, second person plural, calling for a decisive action addressed to a group. Although morphologically passive in form, the verb is deponent and carries active meaning with middle/reflexive force, hence "yourselves" preserves the self-involved nuance of the middle voice.
