Bible Question: What does the Hebrew word "Naphal" mean and where can I find other Hebrew word meanings. |
Bible Answer: Hi Strait2Him, Welcome to the forum. The following is a quote from the book by Al Novak, "Hebrew Honey", copyright l965, l987, Library of Congress card no. 64-252876. That book is in my library and I recommend it; he also has written "More Hebrew Honey" card no. 66-24015. FALL: "And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me; and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the Lord...", (Ezek. 11:5). Naphal, the Hebrew root for fall, has several meanings. This root is used to express falling from a horse--Gen. 49:17; falling into a pit--Ps.7:15; falling in battle--Isa. 10:4. This root is used to report seeing of visions sent from God in sleep--Num. 24:4. This divine precipitation will quicken the soul. It is used to describe the falling of the countenance--Gen. 4:5,6. Sorrow, disappointment and other depressants will cause this. It means to descend, as divine revelations from heaven, Dan. 4:28; as the Spirit of God upon any one--Ezek. 11:5. This is the primary requisite of a pentecostal revival. It means to end, i.e., how the thing will fall out--Ruth 3:18. It means expression of emotion, as falling upon one's neck in embrace--Gen. 33:4. It is used to describe prayer, i.e., the falling of one's supplications before the Lord--Jer. 42:2. It means to desert, to fall away, to go over to another party--Jer. 37:14. It means an abortion--Jer. 3:16. A premature birth, or miscarriage is to fall from the womb too early. End of quote. There is a lot of information in the book and I trust that that would be helpful. From the heart, Ray |
