b. without mention of the place from which one goes out; α. where the place from which one goes forth (as a house, city, ship) has just been mentioned: Matthew (Mat 8:12 Tdf.); f (from the house, Mat 9:28); Mat 10:11 (namely, ἐκεῖθεν, i. e. ἐκ τῆς πόλεως ἤ κώμης ἐκείνης); Mat 12:14 (cf.

Agreeably to the oriental redundancy of style in description (see ἀνίστημι, II. 1 c.), the participle ἐξελθών is often placed before another finite verb of departure: Mat 8:32; Mat 15:21; Mat 24:1 (ἐξελθών (from the temple, see ) ἐπορεύετο ἀπό τοῦ ἱεροῦ, he departed from its vicinity); Mar 16:8; Luk 22:39; Act 12:9; Act 12:17; Act 16:36; Act 16:40; Act 21:5; Act 21:8.

2. figuratively;

b. to come forth from physically, arise from, to be born of: ἐκ with the genitive of the place from which one comes by birth, Mat 2:6 (from Mic 5:2); ἐκ τῆς ὀσφύος τίνος, Hebrew מֵחֲלָצַיִם יָצָא; (Gen 35:11; 1Ki 8:19; (cf. Winer's Grammar, 33 (32))), Heb 7:5.

c. ἐκ χειρός τίνος, to go forth from one's power, escape from it in safety: Joh 10:39.

e. of things; α. of report, rumors, messages, precepts, etc., equivalent to to be uttered, to be heard: φωνή, Rev 16:17; Rev 19:5; equivalent to to be made known, declared: ὁ λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ followed by ἀπό τινων, from their city or church, 1Co 14:36; equivalent to to spread, be diffused: ἡ φήμη, Mat 9:26; Luk 4:14; ἡ ἀκοή, Mar 1:28; (Mat 4:24 Tr marginal reading); ὁ φθόγγος, τά ῤήματα, Rom 10:18; ὁ λόγος the word, saying, Joh 21:23; Luk 7:17; ἡ πίστις τίνος, the report of one's faith, 1Th 1:8; equivalent to to be proclaimed: δόγμα, an imperial edict, παρά τίνος, the genitive person, Luk 2:1. β. to come forth equivalent to be emitted, as from the heart, the mouth, etc.: Mat 15:18; Jas 3:10; (cf. ῤομφαία ἐκ τοῦ στόματος, Rev 19:21 G L T Tr WH); equivalent to to flow forth from the body: Joh 19:34; equivalent to to emanate, issue: Luk 8:46; Rev 14:20. γ. ἐξέρχεσθαι (ἀπ' ἀνατολῶν), used of a sudden flash of lightning, Mat 24:27. δ. that ἐξέρχεσθαι in Act 16:19 (on which see 1 b. α. above) is used also of a thing's vanishing, viz. of a hope which has disappeared, arises from the circumstance that the demon that had gone out had been the hope of those who complain that their hope has gone out. On the phrase ἐισέρχεσθαι καί ἐξέρχεσθαι see in εἰσέρχομαι, 1 a. (Compare: διεξέρχομαι.)
