to go by the side of (in
Homer twice
παρβεβαως of one who stands by another's side in a war-chariot, Iliad 11,522; 13, 708 (but here of men on foot));
to go past or to pass over without touching a thing; tropically,
to overstep, neglect, violate, transgress, with an accusative of the thing (often so in secular authors from
Aeschylus down (cf.
παρά, IV. 1 and 2)):
τήν παράδοσιν,
Matthew 15:2;
τήν ἐντολήν τοῦ Θεοῦ,
Matthew 15:3;
ὁ παραβαίνων, he that transgresseth, oversteppeth, i. e. who does not hold to the true doctrine, opposed to

οἱ παραβαίνοντες, transgressors of the law, Sir. 40:14 (cf.

ἀπό τίνος, so to go past as to turn aside from, i. e.
to depart, leave, be turned from:
ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ,
Exodus 32:8;
Deuteronomy 9:12;
ἀπό τῶν ἐντολῶν,
Deuteronomy 17:20;
ἀποπο τῶν λόγων,

ἐκ (
L T Tr WH ἀπό)
τῆς ἀποστολῆς, of one who abandons his trust (
R. V. fell away],
Acts 1:25. (In the
Sept. also for
עָבַר,
הֵפִיר, to break,
שָׁטָה, to deviate, turn aside.) (Synonym:
παραβαίνειν to overstep, παραπορεύεσθαι to proceed by the side of, παρέρχεσθαι to go past.)
