Strong's Lexicon kludón: Wave, surge, billow Original Word: κλυδών Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb κλύζω (kluzo), meaning "to wash over" or "to surge." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "kludón," similar imagery can be found in Hebrew words like גַּל (gal, Strong's H1530) meaning "wave" or "billow," and יָם (yam, Strong's H3220) meaning "sea." Usage: In the New Testament, "kludón" refers to a large wave or surge of the sea, often used metaphorically to describe tumultuous or unstable situations. It conveys the idea of being tossed about by powerful and uncontrollable forces, whether literal or figurative. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Mediterranean world, the sea was often seen as a symbol of chaos and danger. Mariners of the time were well-acquainted with the unpredictability of the sea, and waves were a common metaphor for life's challenges and uncertainties. The imagery of waves and storms was frequently used in Jewish and early Christian literature to describe trials, divine judgment, or spiritual instability.
