It conveys the action of rolling or folding something, often in the context of garments or scrolls. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the act of rolling up the heavens or the earth, indicating a transformation or an end.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the act of folding or rolling was common in daily life, especially in the context of clothing and scrolls. Garments were often folded for storage or travel, and scrolls were rolled up after reading. This imagery would have been familiar to the original audience of the New Testament, providing a vivid picture of transformation or completion.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. verb<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to fold, i.e. roll up<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>closed (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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4428: πτύσσω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πτύσσω</span></span>: 1 aorist participle <span class="greek2">πτύξας</span>; in classical Greek from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; <span class="accented">to fold together, roll up</span>: <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">βιβλίον</span>, <a href="/interlinear/luke/4-20.htm">Luke 4:20</a> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
