It implies a restoration or renewal of strength, spirit, or comfort. In the context of the New Testament, it can refer to the refreshing of one's spirit or the alleviation of distress.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of refreshing or cooling was often associated with relief from heat or exhaustion, both physically and spiritually. The Mediterranean climate, with its hot summers, made the idea of cooling particularly relevant. Spiritually, the notion of refreshment was significant in a world where travel was arduous and hospitality was a valued virtue. Refreshment could also imply a renewal of one's inner being, aligning with the broader biblical theme of spiritual renewal and rest.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a> and <a href="/greek/5594.htm">psuchó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to cool<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cool (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 2711: καταψύχω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καταψύχω</span></span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">κατεψυξα</span>; <span class="accented">to cool off (make) cool</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/16-24.htm">Luke 16:24</a>.
