Usage: The Greek verb "eiserchomai" primarily means "to enter" or "to go into." It is used in the New Testament to describe both physical and metaphorical entry. Physically, it can refer to entering a place, such as a house or city. Metaphorically, it can describe entering into a state or condition, such as entering into life or the kingdom of God. The term often implies a transition from one state or place to another, highlighting the significance of the action.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, entering a place often carried social and religious significance. For example, entering a temple or a city could involve rituals or signify acceptance and belonging. In Jewish culture, entering the temple or the Promised Land held deep spiritual meaning. The New Testament usage of "eiserchomai" reflects these cultural nuances, especially in the context of entering the kingdom of God, which signifies spiritual transformation and acceptance into God's covenant community.

1. properly, of men and of animals: followed by εἰς with specification of the place (cf. Winer's De verb. comp. etc. Part ii., p. 12f), as into a house, into a city, Matthew 8:5; Matthew 10:12; Mark 2:1; Mark 11:11; Acts 23:16, 33, and often. without specification of place — when mention of it has already been made, as Matthew 9:25; (Mark 7:25 Tdf.); Luke 7:45; Luke 14:23; Luke 15:28, cf. ; Acts 1:13; Acts 5:7, 10; Acts 10:25; 1 Corinthians 14:23f; or it can be easily supplied from the context, as Luke 13:24; Luke 17:7; εἰς is also added to signify among: Acts 19:30; Acts 20:29; ἐισέρχεσθαι διά τίνος, to enter (a place) through something: διά τῆς πύλης, to enter the kingdom of God (compared to a palace) through the gate, Matthew 7:13; Luke 13:24; διά τῆς θύρας εἰς τήν αὐλήν, John 10:1f; add, Matthew 19:24 G T Tr text WH text; (Mark 10:25 Rst L marginal reading Tr marginal reading); Luke 18:25 R G T Tr text WH; ἐισέρχεσθαι ὑπό τήν στέγην, by entering to come under the roof, i. e. enter my house, Matthew 8:8; with adverbs: ὅπου, Mark 14:14; Hebrews 6:20; ὧδε, Matthew 22:12; ἔσω Matthew 26:58; εἰς with the accusative of person, into one's house, Acts 16:40, but on this passage see εἰς, A.

Moreover, the following deserve notice:

a. the phrase ἐισέρχεσθαι καί ἐξέρχεσθαι, to go in and out, (the Hebrew וְצֵאת בּוא or reversed וּבוא צֵאת, usually denotes one's whole mode of living and acting, Deuteronomy 28:6; 1 Samuel 29:6, etc.; cf. Gesenius, Thesaurus i., p. 184f), is used of familiar contact with one: ἐν παντί χρόνῳ ᾧ εἰσῆλθε καί ἐξῆλθεν ἐφ' ἡμᾶς ὁ κύριος, equivalent to εἰσῆλθε ἐφ' ἡμᾶς καί. ἐξηλθεαφ' ἡμ. Acts 1:21 (Euripides, Phoen. 536 ἐς οἴκους εἰσῆλθε καί ἐξηλθ' (Winers Grammar, 624f (580); but cf. Buttmann, 390 (334))); figuratively, of moral pursuits unimpeded by difficulties, John 10:9.

b. ἐισέρχεσθαι εἰς is joined with nouns designating not a place, but what occurs in a place: εἰς τούς γάμους, Matthew 25:10; εἰς τήν χαράν τοῦ κυρίου, 21, 23.

d. of things: — as of food, that enters into the eater's mouth, Matthew 15:11; Acts 11:8; figuratively, hope is called ἄγκυρα ἐισερχομενη εἰς τό ἐσώτερον τοῦ καταπετάσματος, i. e. we firmly rely on the hope that we shall be received into heaven, Hebrews 6:19; cries of complaint are said ἐισέρχεσθαι εἰς τά ὦτα τίνος, i. e. to be heard, James 5:4; of forces and influences: πνεῦμα ζωῆς εἰσῆλθεν ἐν αὐτοῖς (Tr omits; WH brackets ἐν; Rec. ἐπ' αὐτούς (Buttmann, 338 (291))), a pregnant construction, the breath of life entered into and remained in them, Revelation 11:11 (Winers Grammar, § 50, 4; Buttmann, 329 (283)).

2. Metaphorically used,

a. of entrance into any condition, state of things, society, employment: εἰς τήν ζωήν, Matthew 18:8; Matthew 19:17; Mark 9:43, 45; εἰς τήν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν or τοῦ Θεοῦ (see βασιλεία, 3, p. 97{b}): τούς εἰσερχομένους, that are trying to enter, or rather, that have taken the road to enter, are (engaged in) entering, Matthew 23:13 (14); Luke 11:52; used absolutely of those who come into (i. e. become members of) the Christian church, Romans 11:25 (hence, in 1 Corinthians 5:12f οἱ ἔσω and οἱ ἔξω are distinguished); εἰς τήν κατάπαυσιν, Hebrews 3:11, 18; Hebrews 4:1, 3, 5f, 10f; εἰς τήν δόξαν, Luke 24:26; εἰς πειρασμόν, to come (i. e., fall) into temptation, Matthew 26:41; Mark 14:38 (T WH ἔλθητε); Luke 22:40, 46; εἰς τόν κόπον τίνος (see εἰς, B. I. 3), John 4:38. ἐισερχέσθεσθαι εἰς τόν κόσμον, to enter the world (cf. Winer's Grammar, 18), is α. equivalent to to arise, come into existence, begin to be (i. e., among men): used thus of sin and death, Romans 5:12; of death, Wis. 2:24; Clement of Rome, 1 Cor. 3, 4 [ET]; of idols, Wis. 14:14. β. of men, to come into life: whether by birth, Antoninus 6, 56; or by divine creation, Philo, opif. mund. § 25. γ. to come before the public: 2 John 1:7 (Rec.); to come to men, of Christ, John 18:37; εἰσερχόμενος εἰς τόν κόσμον, when he cometh into the world, i. e. when he was on the point of entering it, viz. at his incarnation, Hebrews 10:5.

b. of thoughts coming into the mind: εἰσῆλθε διαλογισμός ἐν αὐτοῖς, a pregnant construction, there came in and established itself within (others take ἐν outwardly: among (cf. διαλογέομαι at the end)) them, Luke 9:46 (cf.

Compare: ἐπέρχομαι, παρέρχομαι, συνέρχομαι, εἰσέρχομαι.

arise, come into, enter into, go through.
