It is often used in the context of wind or breath, signifying movement or life-giving force. In the New Testament, it is used both literally, as in the blowing of the wind, and metaphorically, to describe the action of the Holy Spirit.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of wind and breath was closely associated with life and spirit. The Greeks understood the wind as a powerful and unseen force, much like the divine. In the Hebrew tradition, the breath of God (ruach) is seen as the life-giving force that animates creation. This understanding carries over into the New Testament, where the Holy Spirit is often depicted as wind or breath, symbolizing God's active presence in the world.<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 blow<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>blew (2), blow (1), blowing (2), blows (1), wind (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 4154: πνέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πνέω</span></span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἔπνευσα</span>; from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; <span class="accented">to breathe, to blow</span>: of the wind, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/7-25.htm">Matthew 7:25, 27</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/12-55.htm">Luke 12:55</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/3-8.htm">John 3:8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/6-18.htm">John 6:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/7-1.htm">Revelation 7:1</a>; <span class="greek2">τῇ</span> <span class="greek2">πνεούσῃ</span> namely, <span class="greek2">αὔρα</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 591 (550); (<span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 82 (72))), <a href="/interlinear/acts/27-40.htm">Acts 27:40</a>.
