It can imply a physical movement away from a place or a metaphorical retreat in terms of argument or confrontation. In the New Testament, it is used to convey the idea of stepping back or giving way, often in a context where humility or strategic withdrawal is necessary.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of retreat or withdrawal was not always seen negatively. It could be a strategic move in military contexts or a wise decision in social or philosophical debates. The idea of yielding or stepping back was sometimes associated with wisdom and humility, virtues that were also esteemed in Jewish and early Christian teachings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/5259.htm">hupo</a> and <a href="/greek/5562.htm">chóreó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to go back, retire<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>slip away (1), withdrew (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 5298: ὑποχωρέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὑποχωρέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὑποχώρω</span>;
