It is often used in the context of driving a ship or a vehicle, indicating movement or progress. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe being driven by the wind or other forces.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, "elaunó" was commonly associated with maritime activities, particularly rowing or sailing. The Mediterranean world of the New Testament era was heavily reliant on sea travel for trade and communication, making the concept of driving or propelling a ship a familiar one. This term would have resonated with early Christian audiences, many of whom lived in coastal regions or were engaged in occupations related to the sea.<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 drive or push (as wind, oars, or demoniacal power)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>driven (3), oars (1), rowed (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 1643: ἐλαύνω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐλαύνω</span></span>; perfect participle <span class="greek2">ἐληλακως</span>; passive (present <span class="greek2">ἐλαύνομαι</span>); imperfect <span class="greek2">ἠλαυνομην</span>; <span class="accented">to drive</span>: of the wind driving ships or clouds, <a href="/interlinear/james/3-4.htm">James 3:4</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_peter/2-17.htm">2 Peter 2:17</a>; of sailors propelling a vessel by oars, <span class="accented">to row,</span> <a href="/interlinear/mark/6-48.htm">Mark 6:48</a>; to be carried in a ship, to sail, <a href="/interlinear/john/6-19.htm">John 6:19</a> (often so in Greek writings from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; often also with <span class="greek2">νῆα</span> or <span class="greek2">ναῦν</span> added); of demons driving to some place the men whom they possess, <a href="/interlinear/luke/8-29.htm">Luke 8:29</a>.
