It conveys the idea of a powerful, swirling force, often used metaphorically to describe God's judgment or the overwhelming nature of His presence.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, whirlwinds and storms were often seen as manifestations of divine power. They were associated with the gods' ability to control nature and execute judgment. In the Hebrew Bible, such imagery is frequently used to depict God's might and His active involvement in the world, particularly in contexts of judgment and deliverance.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>see <a href="/hebrew/6801.htm">tsanaph</a>.<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">צְנֵפָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>winding</b></font>; — <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/22-18.htm">Isaiah 22:18</a>, see [<font class="hebrew2">צנף</font>]. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>toss <p>From <a href="/hebrew/6801.htm">tsanaph</a>; a ball -- X toss. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/6801.htm">tsanaph</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>צְנֵפָ֔ה צנפה ṣə·nê·p̄āh ṣənêp̄āh tzeneFah<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/isaiah/22-18.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Isaiah 22:18</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/22.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">צָנ֤וֹף יִצְנָפְךָ֙ <b> צְנֵפָ֔ה </b> כַּדּ֕וּר אֶל־</span><br><a href="/kjvs/isaiah/22.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> violently turn <span class="itali">and toss</span> thee [like] a ball<br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/22-18.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> roll tightly <span class="itali">and toss</span> A ball about<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6802.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6802.htm">Strong's Hebrew 6802<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/tzenefah_6802.htm">ṣə·nê·p̄āh — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/6801.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="6801"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="6801" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/6803.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="6803"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="6803" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
