Strong's Lexicon apotinassó: To shake off, to shake away Original Word: ἀποτινάσσω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: apotinassó Pronunciation: ah-po-tee-NAS-so Phonetic Spelling: (ap-ot-in-as'-so) Definition: To shake off, to shake away Meaning: I shake off. Word Origin: From the preposition ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and the verb τινάσσω (tinassó, meaning "to shake" or "to move to and fro"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀποτινάσσω, the concept of shaking off or separating oneself can be related to Hebrew verbs like נָעַר (na'ar, meaning "to shake" or "to shake off") as seen in contexts like Nehemiah 5:13. Usage: The verb ἀποτινάσσω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of shaking off or shaking away something undesirable or unwelcome. It conveys a sense of deliberate action to remove or distance oneself from something, often in a symbolic or literal sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In the cultural context of the New Testament, shaking off dust or dirt was a symbolic act performed by Jews when leaving a Gentile area, signifying a separation from those who did not follow the Jewish faith. This act was a physical demonstration of disassociating from impurity or rejection. In the Greco-Roman world, similar gestures were understood as expressions of disdain or rejection.
