Strong's Lexicon goggusmos: Grumbling, murmuring, complaint Original Word: γογγυσμός Word Origin: Derived from the verb γογγύζω (gogguzō), meaning "to murmur" or "to grumble." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with "goggusmos" is תְּלוּנָה (telunah), which also means complaint or murmuring, as seen in the Israelites' complaints in the wilderness (e.g., Exodus 16:7-8). Usage: The term "goggusmos" refers to a low, muttered complaint or expression of discontent. It is often used in the New Testament to describe the murmuring or grumbling of people who are dissatisfied or rebellious against God or His appointed leaders. This term conveys a sense of secretive or subdued discontent, often expressed in a communal or collective setting. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, public discourse and open debate were common, but "goggusmos" reflects a more private, often subversive form of dissent. In the context of the Bible, it is frequently associated with the Israelites' complaints during their wilderness journey, as well as the early Christian communities' struggles with internal dissatisfaction and division. Grumbling was seen as a lack of faith and trust in God's provision and leadership. HELPS Word-studies Cognate: 1112 goggysmós – murmuring. See 1111 (gongyzō).
