Strong's Lexicon anemizó: To be tossed by the wind, to be driven by the wind Original Word: ἀνεμίζω Word Origin: From the Greek word ἄνεμος (anemos), meaning "wind." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "anemizó," the concept of being driven or tossed by the wind can be related to Hebrew words like רוּחַ (ruach), meaning "wind" or "spirit," which is used metaphorically in similar contexts. Usage: The verb "anemizó" is used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe instability or being swayed by external forces, much like how the wind can toss and drive objects. It conveys the idea of being unsettled or lacking a firm foundation, often in the context of faith or doctrine. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, wind was a powerful and unpredictable force, often associated with chaos and change. The sea, driven by the wind, was a symbol of instability and danger. In the biblical context, being "tossed by the wind" would evoke images of a ship without anchor or direction, vulnerable to the elements. This imagery would resonate with early Christians who faced persecution and doctrinal challenges.
