Strong's Lexicon seió: To shake, to cause to tremble, to agitate Original Word: σειό Word Origin: Derived from the root word σείω (seió), meaning "to shake" or "to agitate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of shaking or trembling is רָעַשׁ (ra'ash), Strong's Hebrew #7493, which also conveys the idea of quaking or trembling, particularly in the context of divine activity or natural phenomena. Usage: The Greek verb "seió" is used in the New Testament to describe physical shaking or trembling, often in the context of an earthquake or a divine intervention that causes fear or awe. It conveys a sense of powerful movement or disturbance, whether literal or metaphorical. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, earthquakes were often seen as acts of divine power or judgment. The shaking of the earth was a common motif in Jewish apocalyptic literature, symbolizing God's intervention in human affairs. In the Greco-Roman context, such phenomena were also associated with the actions of gods and were interpreted as omens or signs.
