Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Hebrew 309: אָחַר (achar) - to delay, tarry, defer - Strong's Hebrew 4102: מָהַהּ (maha) - to delay, linger Usage: The verb "bradunó" is used to describe the act of delaying or being slow in action or response. It often conveys a sense of intentional or purposeful delay, rather than mere procrastination. In the New Testament, it is used to describe a deliberate pause or slowness in action, often with a purpose or reason behind it. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of time and delay was often associated with divine timing and purpose. The idea that a delay could be intentional and purposeful was not foreign to the ancient mindset. In the context of the New Testament, delays are sometimes seen as opportunities for growth, reflection, or divine intervention. HELPS Word-studies Cognate: 1019 bradýnō – loiter, be unduly slow.
