Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with movement or stirring is נוּעַ (nuach), which can mean to shake, to move, or to wander.

Usage: The Greek verb "κινέω" (kineó) primarily means to move or to set in motion. It is used in the New Testament to describe physical movement, as well as metaphorical or spiritual stirring. The term can imply causing something to change position or state, whether literally or figuratively.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, movement was often associated with life and activity. The concept of motion was significant in philosophical discussions, particularly in the works of Aristotle, who explored the nature of movement and change. In the biblical context, movement can symbolize divine action, spiritual awakening, or the dynamic nature of faith.
