Strong's Lexicon rachash: To move, to stir, to boil, to utter Original Word: רָחַשׁ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "rachash," the concept of stirring or moving can be found in Greek words such as "κινέω" (kineo - to move) and "σπλάγχνον" (splagchnon - inward parts, often used metaphorically for emotions). Usage: The Hebrew verb "rachash" primarily conveys the idea of movement or stirring. It can refer to physical movement, such as the stirring of a pot, or metaphorically to the stirring of emotions or thoughts. In the context of speech, it can mean to utter or to speak, often with a sense of fervency or intensity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of movement was often associated with life and activity. The stirring of a pot, for example, was a common daily activity, symbolizing sustenance and provision. Similarly, the stirring of emotions or thoughts was seen as a sign of inner life and vitality. The use of "rachash" in the context of speech reflects the importance of spoken words in Hebrew society, where oral tradition and communication were central to community life and religious practice.
