Strong's Lexicon panah: To turn, to face, to look, to prepare Original Word: פָנָה Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: panah Pronunciation: pah-NAH Phonetic Spelling: (paw-naw') Definition: To turn, to face, to look, to prepare Meaning: to turn, to face, appear, look Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 1994 (epistrephō): To turn, to return, to convert - Strong's Greek 4762 (strephō): To turn, to change direction Usage: The Hebrew verb "panah" primarily means "to turn" or "to face." It is used in various contexts, including turning physically, turning one's attention, or turning away from something. The word can also imply preparing or making ready, as turning towards a task or goal often involves preparation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of turning was significant both physically and spiritually. Turning towards someone could indicate respect, attention, or readiness to listen, while turning away might suggest rejection or disapproval. The concept of turning is also deeply embedded in the idea of repentance, where one turns away from sin and towards God. This reflects the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where turning towards God was a sign of faithfulness and obedience.
