Strong's Lexicon anemizó: To be tossed by the wind, to be driven by the wind Original Word: ἀνεμίζω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: anemizó Pronunciation: an-em-ID-zo Phonetic Spelling: (an-em-id'-zo) Definition: I am blown with the wind (referring to the gentler motions of the air). Meaning: To be tossed or driven by the wind; to be agitated or unsettled. Word Origin: Derived from ἄνεμος (anemos), meaning "wind." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀνεμίζω, similar concepts of being driven or tossed by the wind can be found in Hebrew words such as רוּחַ (ruach, Strong's H7307), which means "wind" or "spirit," and is often used metaphorically to describe the movement or influence of the spirit or external forces. Another related term is נוּד (nud, Strong's H5110), which can mean "to wander" or "to move to and fro," capturing the idea of instability or lack of direction. Usage: The term ἀνεμίζω is used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe instability or being swayed by external forces, akin to how the wind moves objects. Context: The Greek verb ἀνεμίζω appears in the New Testament to convey the idea of being tossed about, much like an object caught in a storm. This term is used to illustrate the spiritual and emotional instability that can occur when one is not grounded in faith or sound doctrine. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀνεμίζω is found in James 1:6: "But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind." Here, the imagery of being "blown and tossed by the wind" serves as a powerful metaphor for the vacillation and lack of steadfastness that can accompany doubt. The use of ἀνεμίζω underscores the importance of unwavering faith and the dangers of being influenced by external, often contrary, forces. This concept is central to the biblical exhortation to remain firm in one's beliefs and not be easily swayed by the changing winds of doctrine or circumstance.
