Hello, ma teacher!
I don't get the usage of "in" in this phrase: sweep in from the desert
I read this in Bible and this is the full text: Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother's house, when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house.
What I want to know is ... how can I understand this expression: sweep in from
I know why "from" is used. It means "from the desert."
Is "sweep in" kind of idiom?
The reason why I am curious is that I think "in" looks unnecessary.
Please let me know how I should understand this :-D
