Genesis 18:16
And the Mortal-men643 are standing up from there, and they are looking-down upon the faces of Sodom, and Father-of-Tumult is he-who-walks with them to send them forth.644
Footnote:
| 644 | The Sent Ones The Greek word apostle is defined as one sent forth and is derived from the verb apostelló (#G649) meaning to send away or send forth. This is important to bear in mind when we come across the Hebrew parallel word shalach (#7971) to send. “The builder of man will send forth [apostelei] the messengers of himself and they will collect from out of the kingdom of himself the whole of the snare and the ones making the lawlessness.” Matthew 13:41 literal “And he ascends into the mountain and is calling-out-near those he wanted himself, and they went away to himself. And he made two ten that they might be behind himself and that he might send forth [apostelei] themselves to proclaim.” Mark 3:14 literal The one recieving yourselves receives me and the one receiving me receives the one having sent forth [apostelei] me. Matt. 10:40 literal |
