Strong's Lexicon panaq: To be free, to be unrestrained, to be unbridled Original Word: פָנַק Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent concepts can be found in words like ἐλευθερία (eleutheria - G1657), meaning freedom or liberty, and ἀπολύω (apolyo - G630), meaning to release or set free. Usage: The Hebrew verb "panaq" conveys the idea of being free or unrestrained. It is used to describe a state of liberation or the absence of constraints. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often implies a release from bondage or a state of being unbridled, whether in a physical, emotional, or spiritual sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of freedom was deeply significant, often associated with the Israelites' deliverance from slavery in Egypt. The idea of being unrestrained or liberated was not only a physical reality but also a spiritual and moral one. The Hebrew Scriptures frequently emphasize the importance of living in accordance with God's laws, which paradoxically brings true freedom. The term "panaq" would resonate with the Israelites' understanding of freedom as both a divine gift and a responsibility.
