Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "thorubos," similar concepts of noise and tumult can be found in Hebrew words like הָמוֹן (hamon, Strong's H1995), meaning "noise" or "multitude," and שָׁאוֹן (sha'on, Strong's H7588), meaning "uproar" or "tumult."

Usage: The Greek word "thorubos" refers to a noisy disturbance or uproar, often associated with a crowd or public assembly. It conveys the idea of confusion, disorder, or a chaotic situation. In the New Testament, it is used to describe situations where there is a significant public disturbance or an emotional outburst from a group of people.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, public gatherings and assemblies were common, and they could quickly turn into tumultuous events, especially when controversial issues were at stake. The term "thorubos" captures the essence of these chaotic gatherings, reflecting the social and political tensions of the time. Such disturbances were often seen in marketplaces, synagogues, or during public trials, where emotions could run high, leading to disorder.

HELPS Word-studies

2351 thórybos – properly, an uproar, tumult; trouble (accompanied by noisy upheaval) that throws things into disorder; (figuratively) emotions spun "out of control," especially when accompanied by shrieks (hysteria) or loud wailing; disturbance bringing on panic (terror) with a "din, hubbub" (Souter).

(Mk 5:35-39) Josephus (ad 1st century) reports that hired flute players were common in NT times. They performed public lamentations so the haunting sound of the flute became synonymous with death (tragedy, mourning).

[Professional mourners (generally women) are still employed in the Middle East.]
