Strong's Lexicon kopazó: To cease, to stop, to become calm Original Word: κοπάζω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: kopazó Pronunciation: ko-PAH-zo Phonetic Spelling: (kop-ad'-zo) Definition: To cease, to stop, to become calm Meaning: I abate, cease raging, am stilled. Word Origin: Derived from a primary verb κόπτω (koptō), meaning "to cut" or "to strike." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "kopazó," the concept of calming or ceasing can be related to Hebrew words like שָׁקַט (shaqat - Strong's H8252), meaning "to be quiet" or "to be at rest." Usage: The verb "kopazó" is used in the New Testament to describe the cessation of activity or the calming of a situation. It often conveys the idea of something coming to a halt or becoming still, particularly in the context of natural phenomena or tumultuous events. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, the calming of storms or the cessation of tumultuous events was often seen as an act of divine intervention. The use of "kopazó" in the New Testament reflects this understanding, highlighting the authority and power of Jesus over nature and chaos. The calming of storms was a significant demonstration of divine power, resonating with the cultural belief in the gods' control over the natural world.
