Strong's Lexicon haphak: To turn, overturn, change, transform Original Word: הָפַךְ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3331 (metathesis): Change, transformation - G4762 (strepho): To turn, change direction Usage: The Hebrew verb "haphak" primarily means to turn or overturn. It is used in various contexts to describe physical turning, such as turning over a city or object, as well as metaphorical transformations, such as changing one's heart or circumstances. The word conveys a sense of complete change or reversal, often with significant consequences. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of turning or overturning was often associated with divine intervention or judgment. Cities could be overturned as a sign of God's wrath, while hearts could be transformed as a sign of repentance or divine favor. The idea of transformation is central to the Hebrew understanding of God's power to change both physical and spiritual realities.
