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, Matthew 2:6 (from Micah 5:2); ἐκ τῆς ὀσφύος τίνος, Hebrew מֵחֲלָצַיִם יָצָא; (Genesis 35:11; 1 Kings 8:19; (cf. Winer's Grammar, 33 (32))), Hebrews 7:5.

γ. ἐξέρχεσθαι (ἀπ' ἀνατολῶν), used of a sudden flash of lightning, Matthew 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.)
