699. The Greek noun, chora, means literally, “the space or room which a thing occupies.” The word is variously translated in the N. T. as “country,” “land,” “field,” “coast,” and “region.” The verb corresponding to it is choreo, and it means literally, “to make room or space.” It is used in two senses in the N. T. One makes room for a thing or person, by retreating, or withdrawing; hence it comes to mean “to pass on.” Again, one makes room beside or within oneself to receive the thing; hence, it comes to mean, “to receive, to contain.”
