It conveys the action of forcefully moving something or someone forward. This term is often used in contexts where physical force or pressure is applied to achieve movement or change in position.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, physical actions such as pushing or driving were common in daily life, whether in agricultural settings, warfare, or social interactions. The concept of forcefully moving something was understood both in literal and metaphorical senses, often reflecting the dynamics of power, control, and influence within the community.<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 drive, hasten<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>hastened (1), hurried (1), impelled (2).<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">דָּחַף</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>drive, hasten</b></font> (late) (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>, Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">דְּחַף</font>) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Passive participle</em> plural <font class="hebrew2">דְּחוּפִים</font> of runners <a href="/interlinear/esther/3-15.htm">Esther 3:15</a>;
