To move away, depart, or relocate. Matthew uses it twice to mark Jesus' movements: he departed from the Nazareth area after teaching in parables (13:53), and he left Galilee heading toward Judea (19:1). The verb can mean lifting and removing an object, repealing a decree, or intransitively departing from a place. Classical usage included moving statues from their bases or someone shifting position. Matthew's use is simple geographical transition—Jesus concluding ministry in one region and moving to another.
