בּוֹא
bôwʼ · bo · verb · “to come, come in”
Bo means to come or go in. It is the verb of Israel’s journey into the land, of the LORD coming down on Sinai, and of the great hope: “Come, Lord.”
Bo is to come, enter, arrive. It marks great moments in the Bible: Israel “coming” into the promised land; the LORD “coming down” to Sinai; the priest “coming” into God’s presence on the Day of Atonement.
Its ultimate use is hope. The Old Testament ends looking for one who is to “come.” The New Testament identifies him as Jesus and closes with the prayer “Maranatha — come, Lord.”
