Strong's Lexicon diegeiró: To awaken, to stir up, to arouse Original Word: διεγείρω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition διά (dia, meaning "through" or "thoroughly") and ἐγείρω (egeiró, meaning "to awaken" or "to raise up"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of awakening or stirring up is עוּר (ur, Strong's H5782), which means "to rouse oneself, to awake." Usage: The verb διεγείρω is used in the New Testament to describe the action of awakening or stirring someone from sleep or inactivity. It conveys a sense of urgency and thoroughness, often implying a transition from a state of rest or dormancy to one of alertness or action. This term can be used both literally, as in waking someone from physical sleep, and metaphorically, as in stirring someone to spiritual awareness or action. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, sleep was often seen as a state of vulnerability and inactivity. The act of awakening someone was not just a physical action but could also carry connotations of bringing someone to a state of readiness or preparedness. In the Jewish context, awakening could also have spiritual implications, as the prophets often called the people to awaken from spiritual slumber and return to God.
