The Hebrew Words
בֹּא [bo] is a primitive root meaning "to come in", come, go in, and go. Bo [Strong's #935] is used 2562 times in 2290 verses in the Tanakh.
First use in Scripture
The first time bo is used in Scripture is in Genesis 2.
Out of the ground the LORD G-d formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. (Genesis 2:19)
Last use in Scripture
The last time bo is used in Scripture is in Malachi 4.
"He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse." (Malachi 4:6)
