Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἐν (en, "in") and the verb ὀχλέω (ochleō, "to trouble" or "to disturb").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐνοχλέω, similar concepts of trouble or disturbance can be found in Hebrew words such as:

- H926 בָּהַל (bahal): To terrify, disturb, or alarm.
- H4103 מְהוּמָה (mehumah): Confusion, tumult, or disturbance.

These Hebrew terms capture the essence of being troubled or disturbed, paralleling the Greek concept of ἐνοχλέω in the context of experiencing distress or agitation.

Usage: The verb ἐνοχλέω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of causing disturbance or trouble to someone. It conveys a sense of being bothered or agitated by an external force or influence.

Context: The Greek verb ἐνοχλέω appears in the New Testament in contexts where individuals or groups are experiencing disturbance or trouble. This term is used to describe situations where there is an imposition or interference that causes discomfort or distress.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἐνοχλέω is found in Luke 6:18, where it describes the multitude who came to hear Jesus and to be healed of their diseases, as well as those troubled by unclean spirits. The passage highlights the power of Jesus' ministry to address both physical ailments and spiritual disturbances: "They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed."

The use of ἐνοχλέω in this context underscores the comprehensive nature of Jesus' healing work, addressing both the physical and spiritual dimensions of human suffering. It reflects the broader biblical theme of God's intervention in the lives of His people, bringing peace and restoration where there is chaos and distress.

The verb is relatively rare in the New Testament, which emphasizes its specific application to situations of significant disturbance or agitation. It is a reminder of the reality of spiritual and physical challenges faced by individuals and the transformative power of divine intervention.
