It can denote the act of moving forward physically or metaphorically, such as advancing in years or in a particular state or condition.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greek world, the concept of advancing in age was often associated with gaining wisdom and experience. The term "probainó" reflects a natural progression, whether in life stages or in a journey. In the biblical context, advancing in age is sometimes seen as a sign of God's blessing, as longevity was often associated with righteousness and divine favor.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4253.htm">pro</a> and the same as <a href="/greek/939.htm">basis</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to go forward<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>advanced (3), going (1), going on...farther (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4260: προβαίνω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">προβαίνω</span></span>: perfect participle <span class="greek2">προβεβηκώς</span>; 2 aorist participle <span class="greek2">προβάς</span>; from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; <span class="accented">to go forward, go on</span> (cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">πρό</span></span>, d. <span class="greek2">α</span>.): properly, on foot, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/4-21.htm">Matthew 4:21</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/1-19.htm">Mark 1:19</a>; tropically, <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">ταῖς</span> <span class="greek2">ἡμέραις</span> <span class="greek2">προβεβηκώς</span>, advanced in age, <a href="/interlinear/luke/1-7.htm">Luke 1:7, 18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/2-36.htm">Luke 2:36</a> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἡμέρα</span></span>, at the end; <span class="greek2">τήν</span> <span class="greek2">ἡλικίαν</span>, 2 Macc. 4:40 2Macc. 6:18; <span class="abbreviation">Herodian</span>, 2, 7, 7 (5 edition, Bekker); <span class="greek2">τῇ</span> <span class="greek2">ἡλικία</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Lysias</span>, p. 169, 37; (<span class="abbreviation">Diodorus</span> 12, 18); <span class="greek2">ταῖς</span> <span class="greek2">ἡλικιαις</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Diodorus</span> 13, 89; (cf.
