Lexicon (Not Used): (Not Used) (Not Used) Part of Speech: Transliteration: (Not Used) (Not Used)Definition: (Not Used) Meaning: Not Used Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From πρός (pros, meaning "toward" or "to") and ἐλαύνω (elaunō, meaning "to drive" or "to propel"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H1980 (הָלַךְ, halak): To go, walk, or proceed. • H3212 (יָלַךְ, yalak): To go, walk, or move forward. • H7323 (רוּץ, ruts): To run or move swiftly. These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of movement or progression, whether in a physical or metaphorical sense, and are used throughout the Old Testament to describe the actions of individuals and the nation of Israel as they journey in faith and obedience to God's commands. Usage: This term is not used in the canonical texts of the New Testament. It is a compound verb that suggests the action of moving or driving something towards a particular point or goal. Context: The Greek verb προσελαύνω (proseláunō) is a compound word that combines the preposition πρός, indicating direction or purpose, with the verb ἐλαύνω, which means to drive or propel. Although this specific term does not appear in the New Testament, its components are found in various contexts throughout the Greek Scriptures. The verb ἐλαύνω is used in passages such as John 6:19, where it describes the act of rowing or propelling a boat. The preposition πρός is frequently used to denote movement towards a person, place, or thing, as seen in John 1:1, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." The concept of moving towards a goal or advancing in a particular direction is a common theme in biblical literature, often used metaphorically to describe spiritual progress or the pursuit of divine purposes. While προσελαύνω itself is not found in the New Testament, its conceptual elements are reflected in the broader biblical narrative of journeying towards God, both physically and spiritually.
