It can imply a physical relocation or a metaphorical change in position or status. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts that involve a change or transition, whether literal or figurative.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, movement and transition were common themes, both in physical journeys and in philosophical or spiritual contexts. The concept of transferring or changing position was significant in a society where travel and communication were becoming more widespread. The use of "metairó" in the New Testament reflects these cultural dynamics, often illustrating spiritual truths through the metaphor of movement.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3326.htm">meta</a> and <a href="/greek/142.htm">airó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to remove, depart<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>departed (2).<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 3332: μεταίρω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">μεταίρω</span></span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">μετῆρα</span>; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> transitive, <span class="accented">to lift up and remove from one place to another, to transfer,</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Euripides</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Theophrastus</span>, others). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> in the N.
