Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of forming or molding is יָצַר (yatsar), Strong's Hebrew #3335, which is used in passages like Isaiah 64:8, "But now, O LORD, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are our potter; we all are the work of Your hand."

Usage: In the context of the New Testament, "plasma" refers to something that has been formed or created, often implying a work of craftsmanship or artistry. It can denote the physical act of forming or the result of such an act, emphasizing the intentionality and skill involved in creation.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of "plasma" would have been familiar in the context of pottery and sculpture, where artisans would mold clay or other materials into desired shapes. This term reflects the broader Greco-Roman appreciation for craftsmanship and the belief in the divine as the ultimate craftsman. In a biblical context, it underscores the idea of God as the Creator, who forms and shapes the universe and humanity with purpose and precision.
