eiserchomai denotes crossing into a place, and in some passages entering a stated sphere such as rest, labor, or a person's ears.

The prevailing use describes persons or things moving into a specified location, including houses, towns, synagogues, a city, and an inner sacred place. Some clauses extend the movement to a stated sphere or recipient: rest, the world, another's labor, or the ears of the Lord.

1. Going into a specified place · dominant

   Aorist active forms mark movement into concrete locations: in Acts 13:14 the APB renders the clause "They entered the synagogue," and in Acts 9:17 it renders Ananias as entering a house. The same movement appears toward a city in Acts 14:20, an upper room in Acts 1:13, and a barracks in Acts 23:16.

2. Entering a stated sphere or recipient · common

   The term can take destinations expressed as more than ordinary locations. In Hebrews 4:10, the aorist active participle concerns the person having entered rest; in John 4:38, the perfect active form places the hearers within others' labor; and in James 5:4 the cries of reapers have entered into the Lord's ears.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB commonly uses "entered," while also using "went in," "came in," and "come in" in clauses of arrival or access. These renderings confirm the clauses' overall movement rather than establish separate meanings.
