Strong's Lexicon anemos: Wind Original Word: ἄνεμος Word Origin: Derived from the base of ἀήρ (aēr), meaning "air." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7307 (רוּחַ, ruach): Often translated as "spirit" or "wind," this Hebrew word shares a similar range of meanings with "anemos," including breath, spirit, and wind. - H5591 (סְעָרָה, se'arah): Meaning "storm" or "tempest," this word is used to describe strong winds and storms. Usage: The Greek word "anemos" refers to wind, often used in the New Testament to describe natural phenomena, metaphorical concepts, or divine intervention. It can denote both gentle breezes and violent storms, symbolizing change, power, and the unseen forces of nature. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, wind was a powerful and mysterious force, often associated with divine activity. In Greek and Roman mythology, winds were personified as gods, such as Aeolus, the keeper of the winds. In the Hebrew tradition, wind (ruach) is closely linked with the Spirit of God, representing His presence and power. The unpredictability and strength of the wind made it a fitting metaphor for the divine and spiritual realities. HELPS Word-studies 417 ánemos – properly, a gust of air (wind); (figuratively) something with gusting, storm-like force, like someone bent in a particular direction (cf. Eph 4:14; Rev 7:1). (Mk 6:48) Ironically, obedience to the Lord sometimes does bring us into storms! Here God meets (transforms) us in ways that could never happen otherwise. Praise the Lord! Mk 6:45,48: "45Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side to Bethsaida, while He Himself was sending the crowd away. . . . 48Seeing them straining at the oars, for the wind (417 /ánemos) was against them, at about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea; and He intended to pass by them" (NASU).
