Berean Strong's Lexicon salos: Surge, wave, commotion Original Word: σάλος Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb σάλλω (sallō), meaning "to shake" or "to toss." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "salos," the concept of tumultuous waters is present in Hebrew Scripture, such as in Psalm 46:3, where the Hebrew word "הָמוֹן" (hamon) is used to describe the roaring of waters. Usage: The Greek word "salos" refers to a physical shaking or agitation, often used to describe the motion of the sea or waves. In a broader sense, it can also denote a state of turmoil or commotion. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe tumultuous situations or disturbances. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Mediterranean world, the sea was often seen as a symbol of chaos and unpredictability. Mariners and coastal communities were acutely aware of the dangers posed by sudden storms and turbulent waters. The imagery of the sea's agitation was a powerful metaphor for instability and disorder, both in nature and in human affairs.
