Berean Strong's Lexicon anakrazó: To cry out, to shout Original Word: ἀνακράζω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀνά (ana, meaning "up" or "again") and κράζω (krazo, meaning "to cry out" or "to shout"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀνακράζω, similar expressions of crying out can be found in Hebrew words like צָעַק (tsa'aq, Strong's H6817) and זָעַק (za'aq, Strong's H2199), both of which convey the idea of crying out or calling for help. Usage: The verb ἀνακράζω (anakrazó) is used in the New Testament to describe a loud, often urgent, vocal expression. It conveys a sense of strong emotion or need, such as desperation, fear, or fervent proclamation. This term is typically used in contexts where individuals or groups are expressing a significant emotional response or making a public declaration. Cultural and Historical Background: In the cultural context of the New Testament, public speaking and vocal expressions were common in both religious and civic life. The act of crying out or shouting was a way to draw attention, express deep emotion, or make a public appeal. In the Greco-Roman world, such expressions could occur in various settings, including marketplaces, synagogues, and public gatherings.
