Strong's Lexicon puwsh: To spring about, to be scattered, to be spread Original Word: פוּשׁ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of scattering or spreading can be related to Greek terms such as διασκορπίζω (diaskorpizō - Strong's Greek 1287), which means to scatter or disperse. Usage: The Hebrew verb "puwsh" primarily conveys the idea of movement, often in the sense of spreading or scattering. It can imply a physical dispersion or a more metaphorical spreading, such as the dissemination of people or ideas. The term is used to describe actions that involve a dynamic or energetic movement, often with a sense of vitality or liveliness. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of scattering or spreading was significant both in agricultural and social terms. Agriculturally, scattering seed was a common practice, essential for planting and ensuring a good harvest. Socially, the scattering of people could refer to the dispersion of tribes or groups, often due to conflict, migration, or divine intervention. The idea of being scattered also held theological implications, as it could be seen as a form of judgment or a means of fulfilling divine purposes. Brown-Driver-Briggs I.
