Another related Greek term is "μετανοέω" (metanoeō), meaning to repent or change one's mind, reflecting a spiritual transformation.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew word "hephek" primarily denotes a change or transformation, often implying a reversal or overturning of circumstances. It is used in contexts where a significant alteration occurs, whether in physical, social, or spiritual realms. The term can convey both positive and negative transformations, depending on the context.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of transformation or change was often seen as an act of divine intervention. The Israelites believed that God had the power to overturn situations, whether it be turning mourning into joy or bringing judgment upon nations. This understanding is rooted in the belief that God is sovereign over all creation and history, capable of altering the course of events according to His will.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2015.htm">haphak</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the contrary, contrariness, perversity<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>different (2), turn things around (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">הֶ֫פֶךְ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>the contrary, contrariness, perversity</b></font>;
