Strong's Lexicon niuph: To wave, to brandish, to swing Original Word: נִאֻף Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of waving as an offering does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament. However, the idea of presenting or offering can be seen in Greek words like προσφορά (prosphora - G4376), which means offering or sacrifice. Usage: The Hebrew verb "niuph" primarily means to wave or to brandish. It is often used in the context of waving offerings before the Lord as a symbolic act of dedication or consecration. This action signifies presenting something to God, acknowledging His sovereignty, and seeking His blessing. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite worship, the act of waving offerings was a significant ritual. It was part of the sacrificial system established in the Mosaic Law, where certain offerings, such as the wave offering, were presented before the Lord. This act was not merely ceremonial but held deep spiritual significance, symbolizing the offerer's devotion and the sanctification of the offering to God. The waving motion could also represent the acknowledgment of God's presence and His provision. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom naaph Definition adultery NASB Translation adulteries (2).
