Strong's Lexicon pneó: To blow, to breathe Original Word: πνέω Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7307 (רוּחַ, ruach) – Often translated as "spirit," "wind," or "breath," this Hebrew word shares a similar semantic range with "pneó," emphasizing the life-giving and dynamic presence of God. Usage: The Greek verb "pneó" primarily means "to blow" or "to breathe." It is often used in the context of wind or breath, signifying movement or life-giving force. In the New Testament, it is used both literally, as in the blowing of the wind, and metaphorically, to describe the action of the Holy Spirit. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of wind and breath was closely associated with life and spirit. The Greeks understood the wind as a powerful and unseen force, much like the divine. In the Hebrew tradition, the breath of God (ruach) is seen as the life-giving force that animates creation. This understanding carries over into the New Testament, where the Holy Spirit is often depicted as wind or breath, symbolizing God's active presence in the world.
