Berean Strong's Lexicon zua: To tremble, to shake, to be moved Original Word: זוּעַ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of trembling or shaking is "τρέμω" (tremō), Strong's Greek #5141, which similarly conveys the idea of quaking or being in a state of fear or awe. Usage: The Hebrew verb "zua" primarily conveys the idea of physical or emotional trembling or shaking. It is often used to describe a state of agitation or disturbance, whether due to fear, awe, or divine intervention. The term can also imply a broader sense of being moved or stirred, either physically or metaphorically. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical expressions of emotion, such as trembling, were often seen as manifestations of deeper spiritual or emotional states. Trembling could be a response to the presence of God, a reaction to fear or awe, or an indication of a significant internal or external event. The concept of trembling before God is a recurring theme in the Hebrew Scriptures, reflecting the profound reverence and fear associated with the divine presence.
