μορφόω

The Greek word μορφόω (morphoō) means "to form." In its most basic sense, it refers to the act of creating or shaping something from existing materials. This verb likely has connotations of constructing or molding an object to a desired design or purpose. Given its semantic domain of Creation & Nature, μορφόω has a strong connection to the processes and concepts related to shaping and creating the natural world. Its limited occurrence in the Bible (only 1 instance) suggests that it may be a distinctive or specialized term, used in a particular context to draw attention to the creative or formative processes involved.
