Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that matches the specific nuance of נָשַׁם (nasham) as "to blow away, destroy." However, Greek terms related to destruction or removal, such as ἀφανίζω (Strong's Greek 853 • to disappear, to destroy) or ἀπόλλυμι (Strong's Greek 622 • to destroy, to perish), may capture similar themes in the context of the New Testament. Usage: The verb נָשַׁם (nasham) is used in the context of destruction, often implying a forceful removal or obliteration, akin to being blown away. Context: The Hebrew verb נָשַׁם (nasham) is a primitive root that conveys the action of blowing away or destroying. It is a term that appears in contexts where the emphasis is on the complete removal or annihilation of something, often by divine intervention or natural forces. The imagery associated with נָשַׁם is one of a powerful wind or breath that sweeps away what is before it, leaving no trace behind. This term is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, but when it does appear, it underscores the totality and finality of the destruction being described. The concept of being "blown away" can also carry connotations of judgment or divine retribution, where the wicked or those opposed to God's will are utterly removed from existence.
