It can also denote a gentle breeze or wind. In the New Testament, it is used to convey the concept of life-giving breath, often associated with the Holy Spirit's activity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, breath was often seen as a vital force, essential for life. This concept is mirrored in the Hebrew Scriptures, where the breath of God is depicted as the source of life and spirit.
