Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the preposition ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of" or "from") and τινάσσω (tinássō, meaning "to shake" or "to move to and fro").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐκτινάσσω, the concept of shaking off or removing something as a sign of rejection or separation can be related to Hebrew verbs such as נָעַר (na'ar, Strong's 5287), which means "to shake" or "to shake off." This Hebrew verb is used in similar contexts in the Old Testament, such as in the shaking off of dust or the removal of burdens.

Usage: The verb ἐκτινάσσω is used in the New Testament to describe the action of shaking off something, often in a metaphorical sense, such as shaking off dust from one's feet as a testimony against those who do not receive the message of the Gospel.

Context: The Greek verb ἐκτινάσσω appears in the New Testament in contexts where a symbolic gesture is made to signify rejection or disassociation. This action is notably seen in the practice of shaking the dust off one's feet, a gesture that was understood in the cultural context of the time as a sign of disapproval or a declaration of having fulfilled one's duty in delivering a message, thus leaving the responsibility with the hearers.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἐκτινάσσω is used in passages such as Acts 13:51: "So they shook the dust off their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium." This act was performed by Paul and Barnabas as they left Pisidian Antioch, symbolizing their disassociation from those who rejected their message and their intention to move on to other regions where the Gospel might be more readily received.

The act of shaking off dust can be traced back to Jewish customs, where it was a way of showing that one did not want to be associated with the practices or unbelief of a particular place. In the New Testament, it serves as a powerful visual metaphor for the separation between those who accept the message of Christ and those who reject it.
