Meaning: Pertaining to a violent storm or tempestuous wind; stormy. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek noun τυφών (typhon), meaning "whirlwind" or "storm." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for τυφωνικός, the concept of a storm or whirlwind is captured in several Hebrew terms, such as סוּפָה (suphah, Strong's Hebrew 5492) and סַעַר (sa'ar, Strong's Hebrew 5591), both of which describe stormy or tempestuous conditions in the Old Testament. These terms similarly convey the idea of powerful and destructive natural phenomena, often used metaphorically to describe divine judgment or intervention. Usage: The term τυφωνικός is used in the New Testament to describe a severe storm or tempest, specifically in the context of maritime conditions. Context: The Greek adjective τυφωνικός appears in the New Testament in the context of describing a violent storm encountered by the Apostle Paul during his voyage to Rome. In Acts 27:14, the term is used to describe a "tempestuous wind" that arose, known as the "Northeaster" or "Euroclydon," which was notorious among ancient sailors for its ferocity and danger. This storm played a significant role in the narrative of Paul's journey, highlighting the perilous conditions faced by those traveling by sea in the ancient world. The use of τυφωνικός underscores the severity of the storm, emphasizing the power of natural forces and the vulnerability of human endeavors against them. The account serves as a testament to God's providence and protection, as Paul and his companions ultimately survived the ordeal, fulfilling God's purpose for Paul's mission in Rome.
