Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the preposition ἀνά (aná, meaning "up" or "again") and the verb κάμπτω (kámptō, meaning "to bend" or "to turn").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of returning or turning back is also present in Hebrew, with similar meanings found in words such as שׁוּב (shuv, Strong's Hebrew 7725), which means "to return" or "to turn back." This Hebrew term is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe both physical and spiritual returns, such as returning to God or to a previous state or location. Usage: This verb is used in the New Testament to describe the act of returning or turning back, often in a physical sense, such as returning to a place one has previously been. Context: The Greek verb ἀνακάμπτω appears in the New Testament in contexts where individuals or groups are described as returning to a previous location. It is a compound verb that combines the idea of movement (κάμπτω) with the direction or repetition implied by ἀνά. This word is used in the Gospel of Luke, where it describes the action of the shepherds after visiting the newborn Jesus: "The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, which was just as the angel had told them" (Luke 2:20, BSB). Here, ἀνακάμπτω emphasizes the physical return of the shepherds to their fields, as well as their spiritual response to the revelation they had witnessed. The term underscores the notion of returning not only in a physical sense but also with a renewed purpose or understanding, often accompanied by a response of worship or praise.
