To Go in and Out

TO GO IN AND OUT, in the style of ii. 1, 2, &c. the Hebrews, signifies all the actions of life. The Lord shall preserve thy going out, and thy coming in. All the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us. And elsewhere, That he may know thy coming in, and thy going out.

To enter into the Church or Congregation of the Lord, signifies, to be incorporated into the Jewish nation; to share in the interests, and prerogatives of it. To go into a woman’s chamber, to enter her apartment, Judg. xv. 1. Gen. xxix. 22. xxx. 3. & passim.was allowable only for her husband. To go in unto her, that is to say, to marry her, or use the particular rights which the husband claims over his wife’s person.
