Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent of the Hebrew מוּד (mûd) is found in Strong's Greek Number G4531, σαλεύω (saleuō), which also means to shake, totter, or be moved. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe physical shaking, as well as metaphorical instability or disturbance, often in the context of eschatological events or divine intervention.

Usage: The verb מוּד (mûd) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe physical or metaphorical shaking, slipping, or tottering. It conveys the idea of instability or lack of firmness, whether in a literal or figurative sense.

Context: The Hebrew root מוּד (mûd) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, often illustrating the concept of instability or insecurity. This term can be applied to physical objects, such as a structure that is not firmly established, or to individuals who are experiencing a lack of stability in their lives, whether due to external circumstances or internal struggles. The imagery of shaking or tottering is frequently used to describe the precariousness of human life and endeavors, contrasting with the steadfastness of God's promises and His unshakeable nature.

In the poetic and wisdom literature, such as the Psalms and Proverbs, the term is often employed to highlight the transient nature of human existence and the futility of relying on anything other than divine support. For example, in the Psalms, the psalmist may use this term to express a plea for stability and security, seeking refuge in God's unwavering strength.

The concept of shaking is also used metaphorically to describe the judgment or upheaval brought about by divine intervention. In prophetic literature, the shaking of nations or individuals can symbolize the transformative power of God's actions, leading to a reordering of the established order.
