Thayer's Expanded Definition

ῤιπίζω: present passive participle ῥιπιζόμενος; (from ῤιπίς a bellows or fan); hence,

1. properly, to raise a breeze, put air in motion, whether for the sake of kindling a fire or of cooling oneself; hence,

a. to blow up a fire: φλόγα, πῦρ, Anthol. 5, 122, 6; Plutarch, Flam. 21.

b. to fan, i. e, cool with a fan (Tertullian flabello): Plutarch, Anton. 26.

2. to toss to and fro, to agitate: of the wind, πρός ἀνέμων ῥιπίζεται τό ὕδωρ, Philo de incorrupt. mundi § 24; ῥιπιζομενη ἄχνη, Dio Cassius, 70, 4; δῆμος ἀστατον, κακόν καί θαλάσσῃ πανθ' ὅμοιον, ὑπ' ἀνέμου ῥιπίζεται, Dio Chr. 32, p. 368 b.; hence, joined with ἀνεμίζεσθαι it is used of a person whose mind wavers in uncertainty between hope and fear, between doing and not doing a thing, James 1:6.

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

This Ionic form for Attic τήμερον, ";today,"; may be illustrated by P Hib I. 65.13 (c. B.C. 265) οὐκ ἐξέ [στα ]ι σοι σήμερ [ον μετ ]ρ ̣ει ̣̑ν, P Oxy VIII, 1153.9 (i/A.D.) σήμερον γὰ [ρ ] παρεγένετο, ";for he was here to-day,"; P Fay 123.23 (c. A.D. 100) εἴρηχεν ἡμῖν σήμερ ̣ον, and P Oxy IX. 1216.9 (ii/iii A.D.) ἐνιαυτὸς σήμερον ἐκτὸς σοῦ ε ̣ἰμί, ";a year to-day I have been away from you"; (Ed.). The word is used more loosely in ib. VII. 1063.4 (ii/iii A.D.) σήμερ ̣ον ὅτε ἔδωκά σοι ὀνόματα τρία. . . τῇ ἑξῆς ἐμ [ο ]ῦ σου πυθομένου, ";the other day when I gave you three names . . the next day when I asked you"; (Ed.) : cf. Matthew 27:19. For ἡ σήμερον used as a subst. without ἡμέρα, as in Matthew 11:23 al., cf. BGU II. 589.6 (ii/A.D.) νυκτὶ καὶ (l. τῇ) φερούσῃ εἰς τὴν σήμερον, P Oxy I. 121.6 (iii/A.D.) ἤδη ἐν τῇ σήμερον περειορυγήτωσαν, ";let them be dug round to-day"; (Edd.), and P Ryl II. 114.19 (c. A.D. 280) μέχρι τῆς σήμε [ρον. For the full phrase, as in Acts 20:26, see the Jewish prayer for vengeance Syll 816 (= .3 1181).11 (ii/i B.C.) (= LAE2, p. 414 ff.) (sc. θεῷ) πᾶσα ψυχὴ ἐν τῇ σήμερον ἡμέραι ταπεινοῦτα [ι ] μεθ᾽ ἱκετείας. MGr ()σήμερα.
