This term is used in the New Testament to describe the Holy Spirit or the breath of life.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew verb "yaphach" primarily means to breathe or blow. It is often used in contexts that describe the act of exhaling or emitting air, which can be literal or metaphorical. The term can also imply the act of puffing or inflating, suggesting a sense of expansion or expression.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, breath was often associated with life and spirit. The act of breathing was seen as a divine gift, and the breath of God was considered a life-giving force. This understanding is rooted in the creation narrative where God breathes life into Adam. The concept of breath also held symbolic significance, representing the presence and power of God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to breathe, puff<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>gasping for breath (1).<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">יָפַח</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>breathe, puff</b></font> (by-form of <font class="hebrew2">מּוּחַ</font>, q. v.;
