Thayer's Greek Lexicon
δι-ἐξοδος, -ov, 7; fr. Hdt. down; a way out through, outlet, exit: διέξοδοι τῶν ὁδῶν, Mt. xxii. 9, lit. ways through which ways go out, i.e. ace. to the context and the design of the parable places before the city where the roads from the country terminate, therefore outlets of the country highways, the same being also their entrances; [ef. Ob. 14; Ezek. xxi. 21; the R. V. renders it partings of the highways]. The phrase figuratively represents the territory of heathen nations, into which the apostles were about to go forth, (as is well shown by Fischer, De vitiis lexx. N. T. p- 634 sqq.). Used of the boundaries of countries, it is equiv. to the Hebr. nixyin, Num. xxxiv. 4 sq. 8 sq., and often in the book of Joshua, [cf. Rieder, Die zusammengesetzten Verba u. s. w. p. 18. Others understand the crossings or thoroughfares here to represent the most frequented spots. ]
