SIBI-P1 G4762-11
Turn around!
| Root | στρέφω (strephō) |
| Core Meanings | to turn, twist, reverse, change direction, turn back |
| Semantic Range | to turn physically, to turn back or return, to change direction, to reverse course, to convert or change one’s way of thinking or behavior |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used in contexts of repentance or redirection, this verb can signify both physical turning and spiritual conversion—an intentional reorientation of one’s life or allegiance. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active imperative; 2nd person singular. The aorist imperative typically conveys a single, decisive action rather than an ongoing process. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active imperative, second person singular, calls for a decisive, complete act of turning. "Turn around!" preserves the root sense of στρέφω (to turn or reverse direction) while reflecting the direct command addressed to one person. |
