- רָחוֹק râchôwq · H7350 · far, distant, distance
- Greek μακρός emphasizes extension in space or duration in time, while Hebrew רָחוֹק primarily denotes spatial or temporal distance ('far'); both share the semantic domain of extension/remoteness, with μακρός more commonly modifying length-oriented measurements and רָחוֹק typically expressing distance from a reference point.
- רָחַק râchaq · H7368 · to be far, to go far, to stay far
- רָחַק (râchaq, H7368) denotes spatial or relational distance/removal ('far away,' 'withdraw,' 'remove'), matching μακρός (makrós, G3117)'s (μακρός) core sense of 'long' in place (distant) and functioning as a direct Hebrew equivalent for distance concepts rendered by μακρός in LXX contexts.
