Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with "tarassó" is H926 (בָּהַל, bahal), which means to be dismayed or terrified.

Usage: The Greek verb "tarassó" primarily means to disturb or agitate. It conveys a sense of inner turmoil or emotional disturbance. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe the emotional state of individuals who are troubled or distressed, whether by external circumstances or internal conflicts.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, emotional states were often linked to physical health and moral character. The concept of being "troubled" or "agitated" was not only seen as a psychological state but also as a condition that could affect one's overall well-being. In the context of the New Testament, "tarassó" reflects the human experience of anxiety and fear, often in response to divine revelation or the presence of Jesus.
