This term is used extensively in the New Testament to describe the Holy Spirit and the breath of life.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew verb "yapheach" primarily conveys the action of breathing or blowing. It is often used in contexts that describe the physical act of exhaling or the movement of air. This term can also imply a sense of life or vitality, as breathing is a fundamental sign of life.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, breath was closely associated with life and the spirit. The act of breathing was seen as a divine gift, and the breath itself was often considered a symbol of the soul or spirit. This understanding is reflected in various biblical texts where breath and spirit are interconnected. The Hebrew language, with its rich use of imagery and metaphor, often uses physical actions like breathing to convey deeper spiritual truths.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3306.htm">yaphach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>breathing or puffing out<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>breathe (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">יָפֵחַ</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>breathing or puffing out</b></font>, construct <font class="hebrew2">וִיפֵחַ חָמָס</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/27-12.htm">Psalm 27:12</a> <em>puffing out violence</em> (compare Che). <p><font class="hebrew2">יַפְלֵט</font> see below <font class="hebrew2">פלט</font>. <p><font class="hebrew2">יְפֻנֶּה</font> see below <font class="hebrew2">פנה</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>such as breathe out <p>From <a href="/hebrew/3306.htm">yaphach</a>;
