Definition: To spread out, to stretch forth

Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐκ" (ek, meaning "out of" or "from") and the verb "πετάννυμι" (petannumi, meaning "to spread" or "to stretch out").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of spreading out hands in prayer is "פָּרַשׂ" (paras, Strong's Hebrew 6566), which means to spread or stretch out.

Usage: The verb "ekpetannumi" is used to describe the action of spreading out or stretching forth something, often in a physical sense. In the context of the New Testament, it can refer to the spreading out of hands in prayer or supplication, or the stretching forth of wings.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the act of spreading out hands was a common gesture of prayer, supplication, or blessing. This physical expression was a way to demonstrate earnestness and sincerity in one's requests or worship. The imagery of spreading wings is also significant, often symbolizing protection, freedom, or divine presence.
