Strong's Lexicon sugcheó or sugchunnó: To confuse, to confound, to mix up, to throw into disorder. Original Word: συγχέω or συγχύννω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix σύν (sun, meaning "together") and χέω (cheo, meaning "to pour"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with confusion or disorder is בָּלַל (balal, Strong's H1101), which means to mix or confuse, as seen in the account of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:9). Usage: The verb συγχέω or συγχύννω primarily means to mix or mingle things together, leading to confusion or disorder. In a metaphorical sense, it is used to describe the act of confounding or perplexing individuals or groups, often resulting in a state of confusion or disarray. This term is used in the New Testament to describe both physical and mental states of confusion. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of confusion or disorder was often associated with chaos, which was seen as the opposite of the ordered cosmos. The Greeks valued order and clarity, both in thought and in the physical world. In the context of the New Testament, the term reflects the disruption of understanding or the breakdown of social or spiritual order, often as a result of divine intervention or human misunderstanding.
