Strong's Lexicon ekteinó: To stretch out, to extend Original Word: ἐκτείνω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of" or "from") and the verb τείνω (teinō, meaning "to stretch" or "to extend"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of stretching out is נָטָה (natah), which also means "to stretch out" or "to extend." Usage: The verb ἐκτείνω primarily means "to stretch out" or "to extend." It is often used in the New Testament to describe physical actions, such as stretching out one's hand, but it can also have metaphorical implications, such as extending mercy or influence. The term conveys a sense of reaching out with purpose or intention. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the act of stretching out one's hand could symbolize various actions, including offering help, making a gesture of authority, or initiating a blessing. In Jewish culture, extending the hand was often associated with acts of healing or divine intervention, reflecting the belief in God's power to reach out and touch lives.
