enteuthen, enthen marks a point of departure, source, or position relative to a stated place.

The adverb most often marks movement away from an indicated place; it also identifies a source or point of origin and, in spatial scenes, distinguishes positions on opposite sides.

Senses in use

  1. Departure or movement away from a place · dominant

    In John 14:31 the clause calls for rising and going away, while John 2:16 and John 7:3 place the adverb with commands to take things away or depart. Luke 4:9 and Matthew 17:20 likewise locate a downward throw or a mountain’s movement in relation to a starting point.

  2. Source or origin from a stated point · common

    In James 4:1 the adverb introduces the stated source of wars and quarrels, which the APB renders as coming “out from your pleasures.” In John 18:36 it marks the point from which the kingdom is not said to come, and Luke 16:26 sets it at one side of an uncrossable chasm.

  3. Position on one side in a spatial scene · occasional

    Revelation 22:2 places the tree in relation to the street and river, with the APB rendering the scene “on this side and on that.” John 19:18 likewise describes the crucifixion scene with figures positioned on each side and Jesus in the middle.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the adverb through phrases such as “from here,” including commands to depart or move. Elsewhere it uses broader spatial wording, such as “out from,” “from there,” and “on this side and on that”; These are renderings of the clauses rather than fixed equivalents.
