Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: A primary verb

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Greek and Hebrew terms, the concept of movement or stirring in the Hebrew Bible can be related to several Hebrew words, such as נוּעַ (nuach • to move, shake) or רָגַשׁ (ragash • to be in tumult, to stir). These Hebrew terms capture similar ideas of motion and agitation found in the Greek κινέω.

Usage: The verb κινέω is used in the New Testament to describe physical movement or the act of stirring or causing motion. It can be used both literally and metaphorically.

Context: The Greek verb κινέω appears in the New Testament to convey the concept of movement or stirring. It is a versatile term that can be applied to both physical and metaphorical contexts. In the literal sense, κινέω is used to describe the physical act of moving an object or oneself. For example, in Acts 21:30, the city is described as being "stirred up" as a result of a commotion: "The whole city was stirred up, and the people rushed together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut."

Metaphorically, κινέω can also refer to the stirring of emotions or the incitement of action. This usage highlights the dynamic nature of the term, as it can describe both the physical act of moving and the more abstract concept of causing a change in state or condition.

The verb κινέω is relatively rare in the New Testament, but its occurrences are significant in illustrating the impact of movement, whether it be the physical movement of people or the stirring of emotions and actions. The term underscores the transformative power of movement, both in the physical realm and in the hearts and minds of individuals.
