Strong's Lexicon ptussó: To fold, to wrap, to roll up Original Word: πτύσσω Word Origin: From a primary word (related to the idea of folding or wrapping) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of folding or rolling up is paralleled in the Hebrew Scriptures with words like "גלל" (galal), which means to roll or roll away, often used in the context of rolling away a stone or scroll. Usage: The Greek verb "ptussó" primarily means to fold or to wrap. It conveys the action of rolling or folding something, often in the context of garments or scrolls. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the act of rolling up the heavens or the earth, indicating a transformation or an end. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the act of folding or rolling was common in daily life, especially in the context of clothing and scrolls. Garments were often folded for storage or travel, and scrolls were rolled up after reading. This imagery would have been familiar to the original audience of the New Testament, providing a vivid picture of transformation or completion.
