Strong's Lexicon ektinassó: To shake off, to shake out Original Word: ἐκτινάσσω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐκ" (ek, meaning "out of") and the verb "τινάσσω" (tinassó, meaning "to shake"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "ektinassó," the concept of shaking off dust can be related to the Hebrew practice of ritual cleansing and separation from impurity, as seen in various Old Testament purification rites. Usage: The verb "ektinassó" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of shaking off dust or dirt from one's feet or garments. This action is symbolic, often representing a rejection or a testimony against those who do not receive the message of the Gospel. It signifies a separation or a disassociation from those who are unresponsive or hostile to the message of Christ. Cultural and Historical Background: In the cultural context of the New Testament, shaking off the dust from one's feet was a gesture performed by Jews when leaving Gentile territories, symbolizing a separation from pagan practices and a cleansing from defilement. In the context of early Christian missions, this act was adapted to signify a testimony against those who rejected the Gospel, indicating that the responsibility for their unbelief rested upon them.
