Strong's Lexicon tsenephah: Whirlwind, storm Original Word: צְנֵפָה Word Origin: Derived from the root צָנַף (tsanaph), meaning "to wrap" or "to wind." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, similar concepts can be found in Greek words like "λαῖλαψ" (lailaps - G2978), meaning "tempest" or "hurricane," used in the New Testament to describe sudden and violent storms. Usage: The term "tsenephah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a whirlwind or a storm. It conveys the idea of a powerful, swirling force, often used metaphorically to describe God's judgment or the overwhelming nature of His presence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, whirlwinds and storms were often seen as manifestations of divine power. They were associated with the gods' ability to control nature and execute judgment. In the Hebrew Bible, such imagery is frequently used to depict God's might and His active involvement in the world, particularly in contexts of judgment and deliverance.
