Strong's Lexicon gaash: To shake, quake, or tremble Original Word: גָּעַשׁ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, similar concepts can be found in Greek words like σεισμός (seismos, G4578), meaning "earthquake" or "shaking." Usage: The Hebrew verb "gaash" primarily conveys the idea of shaking or quaking, often used in the context of natural phenomena such as earthquakes or storms. It can also describe the trembling or agitation of people, whether due to fear, anger, or divine intervention. The term is used to depict both literal and metaphorical shaking, emphasizing the power and majesty of God in controlling the forces of nature and the affairs of humanity. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, natural events like earthquakes and storms were often seen as manifestations of divine power. The Hebrew Bible frequently uses such imagery to communicate God's sovereignty and might. The trembling of the earth or the shaking of mountains served as a reminder of God's presence and authority over creation. In a culture deeply connected to the land and its stability, such imagery would have been both awe-inspiring and fear-inducing.
