Strong's Lexicon anaspaó: To draw up, to pull up, to uproot Original Word: ἀνασπάω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: anaspaó Pronunciation: an-as-pah'-o Phonetic Spelling: (an-as-pah'-o) Definition: I drag up, pull up, draw up, draw out. Meaning: To draw up, pull up, or pluck up. Word Origin: From the preposition ἀνά (aná, meaning "up" or "again") and the verb σπάω (spáō, meaning "to draw" or "to pull"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀνασπάω, similar concepts of uprooting or pulling up can be found in Hebrew verbs such as עָקַר (ʿāqar, Strong's Hebrew 6131), which means "to pluck up" or "to uproot." This Hebrew term is used in contexts where something is removed from its place, akin to the Greek ἀνασπάω. Usage: The verb ἀνασπάω is used in the context of pulling or drawing something upwards, often with a sense of force or effort. It can be used both literally and metaphorically in the New Testament. Context: The Greek verb ἀνασπάω appears in the New Testament to describe the action of pulling or drawing something upwards. This term is used in contexts that involve physical movement or metaphorical lifting. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀνασπάω is used in Luke 17:6, where Jesus speaks about faith: "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you." Here, ἀνασπάω is translated as "be uprooted," illustrating the power of faith to accomplish seemingly impossible tasks. The imagery of uprooting a tree conveys a significant transformation, emphasizing the dynamic and potent nature of faith. The verb underscores the concept of moving something from its established place, highlighting the transformative power inherent in spiritual belief and action.
