Strong's Lexicon uwph: To fly, to soar Original Word: עוּף Part of Speech: verb; noun masculine Transliteration: `uwph Pronunciation: oof Phonetic Spelling: (oof) Definition: To fly, to soar Meaning: to fly, to faint Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4072 (πετάομαι, petaomai) - to fly - G4420 (πτερόω, pteroo) - to furnish with wings, to fly Usage: The Hebrew verb "uwph" primarily means "to fly" or "to soar," often used in the context of birds or other creatures that move through the air. It conveys the action of flying, emphasizing the freedom and swiftness associated with flight. In a broader sense, it can also imply rapid movement or escape. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the ability to fly was often associated with freedom, transcendence, and divine power. Birds, as creatures of the sky, were seen as symbols of these qualities. The act of flying was sometimes used metaphorically to describe swift movement or the ability to rise above earthly concerns. In the biblical context, flight can also symbolize God's protection and deliverance, as seen in the imagery of being borne on eagles' wings.
