Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐλαύνω, similar concepts of driving or propelling can be found in Hebrew verbs such as נָהַג (nahag • Strong's Hebrew 5090), which means to drive or lead, often used in the context of driving flocks or leading people. Another related Hebrew verb is דָּחַף (dachaph • Strong's Hebrew 1760), meaning to push or thrust, which conveys a similar sense of forceful movement or propulsion. These Hebrew terms reflect the underlying idea of movement and direction that is central to the meaning of ἐλαύνω. Usage: The verb ἐλαύνω is used in the New Testament to describe the action of driving or propelling, often in the context of moving forward or pushing onward. It can refer to the physical act of driving a vehicle or vessel, as well as metaphorically to the act of urging or compelling. Context: The Greek verb ἐλαύνω appears in the New Testament in contexts that involve movement or propulsion. It is used both literally and metaphorically, illustrating the action of driving or moving something forward. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἐλαύνω is found in passages that describe the act of rowing or propelling a boat, as well as in metaphorical contexts where individuals are driven by circumstances or divine influence. For example, in John 6:19, the disciples are described as having rowed (ἐλαύνω) about three or four miles when they see Jesus walking on the sea. This usage highlights the physical effort and determination involved in their journey across the water. The verb captures the essence of movement and progress, whether it be through human effort or divine intervention. The term can also be understood in a broader sense, where it signifies the driving force behind actions or events. In this way, ἐλαύνω can be seen as a representation of the momentum that propels individuals or groups toward their goals or destinies, often under the guidance or influence of God.
