Strong's Lexicon regesh: Tumult, commotion, throng Original Word: רֶגֶשׁ Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to be in tumult Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence in the Greek Septuagint for "regesh," similar concepts of tumult or commotion can be found in Greek words like θόρυβος (thorubos), which also denotes noise or uproar, often used in the New Testament to describe crowds or disturbances (e.g., Acts 21:34). Usage: The Hebrew word "regesh" primarily denotes a sense of tumult or commotion, often associated with a large gathering or throng of people. It conveys the idea of noise, disorder, or a chaotic assembly. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it can refer to both literal and metaphorical tumult, such as the uproar of a crowd or the inner turmoil of emotions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, gatherings and assemblies were common for various purposes, including religious festivals, legal matters, and social events. The term "regesh" captures the dynamic and often noisy nature of these gatherings. It reflects the communal aspect of ancient life, where public spaces were arenas for both celebration and conflict. Understanding "regesh" within this context helps illuminate the social and religious fabric of the time.
