Strong's Lexicon goggustés: Grumbler, Complainer Original Word: γογγυστής Word Origin: Derived from the verb γογγύζω (gogguzō), meaning "to grumble" or "to murmur." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H3885 (לון, lun): To murmur, to grumble, often used in the context of the Israelites' complaints in the wilderness (e.g., Exodus 16:2, Numbers 14:2). Usage: The term "goggustés" refers to a person who grumbles or complains, often in a low, muttering voice. It conveys a sense of dissatisfaction and discontent, typically expressed in a covert or indirect manner. In the New Testament, it is used to describe those who express discontent against God or His appointed leaders. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, grumbling was often seen as a negative trait, associated with a lack of gratitude and a rebellious spirit. In Jewish culture, murmuring against God was considered a serious offense, as it demonstrated a lack of faith and trust in His provision and sovereignty. The Israelites' history of grumbling in the wilderness serves as a backdrop for understanding the severity of this behavior. HELPS Word-studies Cognate: 1113 goggystḗs – murmurer. See 1111 (gongyzō).
