Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the preposition διά (dia, meaning "through" or "thoroughly") and the verb γογγύζω (goggýzō, meaning "to grumble" or "to murmur").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H3885 לוּן (lun): To lodge, to murmur, or to complain.
• H8519 תְּלוּנָה (telunah): A murmuring or complaint.

These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of grumbling or complaining, often in the context of the Israelites' journey through the wilderness, where they frequently expressed dissatisfaction with their circumstances and God's provision.

Usage: The verb διαγογγύζω is used in the New Testament to describe a murmuring or grumbling that is more intense or thorough than simple complaining. It often implies a communal or collective discontent, typically directed against leadership or divine provision.

Context: The term διαγογγύζω appears in the New Testament in contexts where groups express dissatisfaction or discontent. This grumbling is often directed towards leaders or God, reflecting a lack of faith or trust. The term is used in the context of the Israelites' complaints during their wilderness journey, as well as in the New Testament to describe the reactions of certain groups to Jesus' teachings or actions.

In the Berean Standard Bible, διαγογγύζω is used to illustrate the human tendency to doubt and question divine authority or provision. For example, in John 6:41, the Jews grumbled about Jesus because He said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven." This grumbling reflects a deeper spiritual struggle to accept Jesus' divine identity and mission.

The use of διαγογγύζω serves as a cautionary example of how murmuring can lead to spiritual stagnation and rebellion. It underscores the importance of faith and trust in God's plan, even when circumstances seem challenging or unclear.
