Thayer's Greek Lexicon
ἐξαιρέω, ἐξαίρω: 2 aorist imperative ἔξελε; middle (present participle ἐξαιρούμενος); 2 aorist ἐξειλόμην and in Alex. form (L T Tr WH) ἐξειλάμην (Act 7:10 (so Griesbach); (so Griesbach); ; see references in (αἱρέω and) ἐπέρχομαι), infinitive ἐξελέσθαι (Act 7:34); the Sept. usually for äÄöÄÌéì; to take out (cf. ἐκ, VI. 2);
1. to pluck out, draw out, i. e. to root out: τόν ὀφθαλμόν, Mat 5:29; Mat 18:9.
2. Middle a. to choose out (for oneself), select, one person from many: Act 26:17 (so for áÈÌçÇø in Isa 49:7 (but there the Sept. has ἐξελεξάμην; perhaps Isa 48:10 is meant) and sometimes in Greek writings; first in Homer, Odyssey 14, 232) (others refer Acts, the passage cited to the next head; (see Hackett at the passage)).
b. to rescue, deliver (properly, to cause to be rescued, but the middle force is lost (cf. Winer’s Grammar, 253 (238))): τινα, Act 7:34; Act 23:27; τινα ἐκ τίνος, Act 7:10; Act 12:11; Gal 1:4; (Exo 3:8, etc.; Aeschylus suppl. 924; Herodotus 3, 137; Demosthenes, 256, 3; Polybius 1, 11, 11).
