Usage: The verb "gogguzó" is used in the New Testament to describe a low, muttering form of complaint or dissatisfaction. It often conveys a sense of discontent or rebellion against authority, whether divine or human. This term is typically used in contexts where individuals or groups express dissatisfaction with circumstances or leadership, often in a covert or subdued manner.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, public discourse and rhetoric were highly valued, but "gogguzó" represents a more private, less formal expression of discontent. In Jewish culture, murmuring against God or His appointed leaders was seen as a serious offense, reflecting a lack of faith and trust in God's provision and plan. This concept is rooted in the Old Testament, where the Israelites frequently murmured against Moses and God during their wilderness journey.

γογγύζω; imperfect ἐγόγγυζον; 1 aorist ἐγογγυσα; to murmur, mutter, grumble, say anything in a low tone (according to Pollux and Phavorinus used of the cooing of doves, like the τονθρύζω and τονθορύζω of the more elegant Greek writings; cf.
