Strong's Lexicon elaunó: To drive, to propel, to row Original Word: ἐλαύνω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: elaunó Pronunciation: eh-lou'-no Phonetic Spelling: (el-ow'-no) Definition: To drive, to propel, to row Meaning: (a) trans: I drive (on), propel, (b) intrans: I row. Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "elaunó," the concept of driving or propelling can be related to Hebrew verbs like "nahag" (H5090), which means to drive or lead, often used in the context of driving livestock or leading a group. Usage: The Greek verb "elaunó" primarily means to drive or propel forward. It is often used in the context of driving a ship or a vehicle, indicating movement or progress. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe being driven by the wind or other forces. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, "elaunó" was commonly associated with maritime activities, particularly rowing or sailing. The Mediterranean world of the New Testament era was heavily reliant on sea travel for trade and communication, making the concept of driving or propelling a ship a familiar one. This term would have resonated with early Christian audiences, many of whom lived in coastal regions or were engaged in occupations related to the sea.
