Context: The Greek verb ἐκπετάννυμι appears in the New Testament with the connotation of spreading or extending. This term is often used metaphorically to describe actions that involve reaching out or expanding one's influence or presence. In the Berean Standard Bible, the usage of ἐκπετάννυμι can be seen in contexts where physical or metaphorical extension is implied.

For example, in the context of divine actions, it may describe the act of God spreading out the heavens or extending His hand in power and authority. This imagery is consistent with the biblical theme of God's sovereignty and His ability to reach into the lives of His people.

The use of ἐκπετάννυμι in the New Testament underscores the dynamic nature of God's interaction with the world and His people, as well as the human response to divine initiatives. It highlights the themes of divine providence, human agency, and the interaction between the two.
