It is used in various contexts in the New Testament to describe physical turning, such as turning one's body or direction, as well as metaphorical turning, such as changing one's mind or converting spiritually. The term can imply a change of state or condition, often with a focus on repentance or transformation. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of turning or changing direction was often associated with philosophical and moral transformation. The idea of turning from one path to another was a common metaphor for conversion or repentance. In Jewish thought, turning back to God was a central theme, reflecting the call to repentance and renewal found throughout the Hebrew Scriptures.
