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: Mt 8:32; Mt 15:21; Mt 24:1 (ἐξελθών (from the temple, see ) ἐπορεύετο ἀπό τοῦ ἱεροῦ, he departed from its vicinity); Mk 16:8; Lk 22:39; Acts 12:9, Acts 12:17; Acts 16:36, Acts 16:40; Acts 21:5, Acts 21:8.

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, Mt 2:6 (from Mic 5:2); ἐκ τῆς ὀσφύος τίνος, Hebrew מֵחֲלָצַיִם יָצָא; (Gen 35:11; 1 Kgs 8:19; (cf. Winer's Grammar, 33 (32))), Heb 7:5.

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, 1 Cor 14:36; equivalent to to spread, be diffused: ἡ φήμη, Mt 9:26; Lk 4:14; ἡ ἀκοή, Mk 1:28; (Mt 4:24 Tr marginal reading); ὁ φθόγγος, τά ῤήματα, Rom 10:18; ὁ λόγος the word, saying, Jn 21:23; Lk 7:17; ἡ πίστις τίνος, the report of one's faith, 1 Thess 1:8; equivalent to to be proclaimed: δόγμα, an imperial edict, παρά τίνος, the genitive person, Lk 2:1. β. to come forth equivalent to be emitted, as from the heart, the mouth, etc.: Mt 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: Jn 19:34; equivalent to to emanate, issue: Lk 8:46; Rev 14:20. γ. ἐξέρχεσθαι (ἀπ' ἀνατολῶν), used of a sudden flash of lightning, Mt 24:27. δ. that ἐξέρχεσθαι in Acts 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.)
