Strong's Lexicon saleuó: To shake, to move, to disturb, to be unsettled Original Word: σαλεύω Word Origin: From a primary word σάλος (salos), meaning "a wave" or "agitation." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7493 (רָעַשׁ, ra'ash): To quake, shake, or tremble. - H7264 (רָגַז, ragaz): To be agitated, to tremble, to quake. Usage: The verb "saleuó" primarily conveys the action of shaking or causing to move. It can refer to physical shaking, such as the shaking of the earth or objects, as well as metaphorical shaking, such as being emotionally or spiritually unsettled. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe the shaking of foundations, both literal and figurative, indicating a disturbance or a significant change. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, the concept of shaking was often associated with divine intervention or judgment. Earthquakes, for example, were seen as acts of the gods. In the Jewish and early Christian context, shaking could symbolize God's power and presence, as seen in the shaking of Mount Sinai (Exodus 19:18) or the earthquake at Jesus' crucifixion (Matthew 27:51). The metaphorical use of shaking to describe emotional or spiritual states reflects the belief that faith should remain steadfast despite external disturbances.
