This emphatic adverb stacks intensifying elements to stress the extraordinary degree of something—literally 'hyper-abundantly.' In Mark 7:37, the crowd's reaction to Jesus' healing of the deaf-mute is described with this word: they were 'beyond measure' astonished. The adverb expresses amazement that exceeds normal bounds. Spanish and German both render it 'exceedingly,' 'beyond all measure,' while French uses 'excessively' to capture the sense of surpassing ordinary limits.
