It is often used in the context of movement or travel, indicating a destination. In the Berean Standard Bible , "thither" is used to convey the idea of going or being sent to a specific location, often in obedience to God's command or as part of a divine plan. Biblical Usage: 1. Divine Guidance and Obedience: The use of "thither" frequently appears in narratives where individuals are directed by God to go to a particular place. For example, in <a href="/genesis/12-5.htm">Genesis 12:5</a>, God calls Abram to leave his homeland and go "thither" to the land He would show him, marking the beginning of Abram's journey of faith: "And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his nephew, and all their possessions that they had accumulated, and the people they had acquired in Haran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there." 2. Prophetic Missions: Prophets in the Old Testament are often sent "thither" to deliver messages or perform specific tasks. In <a href="/1_kings/17-9.htm">1 Kings 17:9</a>, God instructs Elijah to go to Zarephath: "Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you." This directive underscores the theme of divine provision and the fulfillment of God's purposes through human obedience. 3. Sanctuary and Worship: The term is also used in the context of worship and the sanctuary. In <a href="/deuteronomy/12-5.htm">Deuteronomy 12:5</a>, God commands the Israelites to seek the place He chooses for His name to dwell and to bring their offerings "thither": "But you are to seek the place the LORD your God will choose from among all your tribes to put His Name there for His dwelling. To that place you must go." 4. Judgment and Consequence: "Thither" can also denote places of judgment or consequence. In <a href="/ezekiel/23-46.htm">Ezekiel 23:46</a>, God declares judgment upon the sinful city: "This is what the Lord GOD says: 'Bring a mob against them and consign them to terror and plunder.'" The use of "thither" in such contexts highlights the seriousness of divine judgment and the inevitable consequences of disobedience. Theological Implications: The use of "thither" in the Bible reflects the broader theological themes of divine direction, obedience, and the fulfillment of God's will. It emphasizes the importance of following God's guidance and the belief that God has a specific plan and purpose for His people. The term also underscores the concept of sacred spaces, where God's presence is uniquely manifest, and where His people are called to worship and offer sacrifices. In summary, "thither" serves as a linguistic marker in the biblical narrative, pointing to the movement of God's people in response to His commands, the unfolding of His divine plan, and the establishment of places of worship and judgment.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
