Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐξίστημι, similar concepts of amazement or astonishment can be found in Hebrew words such as תָּמַהּ (tamah, Strong's 8539) and שָׁמַם (shamam, Strong's 8074), which convey a sense of being astounded or desolate. These terms are used in the Old Testament to describe reactions to divine acts or judgments. Usage: The verb ἐξίστημι is used in the New Testament to describe a state of amazement or astonishment, often in response to witnessing a miracle or an extraordinary event. It can also refer to being out of one's senses or being in a state of confusion or ecstasy. Context: The Greek verb ἐξίστημι appears in several contexts within the New Testament, primarily in the Gospels and Acts, to convey a sense of overwhelming amazement or astonishment. This term is often used to describe the reaction of crowds or individuals who witness the miraculous works of Jesus or the apostles. For example, in Mark 2:12, after Jesus heals a paralytic, the crowd is described as being "amazed" (ἐξίστημι) and glorifying God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!" (BSB).
