Berean Strong's Lexicon muts: To shake, to be agitated, to be moved Original Word: מוּץ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint (LXX) for similar concepts might include words like σαλεύω (saleuō), which also means to shake or to be moved. Usage: The Hebrew verb "muts" primarily conveys the idea of shaking or being agitated. It is often used metaphorically to describe a state of turmoil or disturbance, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. The term can imply a sense of instability or being unsettled. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical actions often symbolized spiritual or emotional states. The concept of shaking or agitation could represent fear, divine judgment, or the unsettling of established order. In a historical context, such imagery would resonate with a people familiar with the instability of life in the ancient Near East, where natural disasters, warfare, and divine intervention were common themes.
