It often conveys a physical return to a location but can also imply a metaphorical or spiritual return.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, travel was a significant part of life, whether for trade, military campaigns, or religious pilgrimages. The concept of returning or turning back was common, as journeys were often long and arduous. The term ἀνακάμπτω would have been understood in this context as a physical return, but it also carried deeper implications of repentance or a change of heart in a spiritual or moral sense.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/303.htm">ana</a> and <a href="/greek/2578.htm">kamptó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to turn back, to return<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>return (4).<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 344: ἀνακάμπτω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀνακάμπτω</span></span>: future <span class="greek2">ἀνακάμψω</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἀνέκαμψα</span>; <span class="accented">to bend back, turn back</span>.
