Strong's Lexicon kraugé: Cry, shout, outcry Original Word: κραυγή Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: kraugé Pronunciation: krow-GAY Phonetic Spelling: (krow-gay') Definition: (a) a shout, cry, clamor, (b) outcry, clamoring against another. Meaning: • A loud cry, outcry, or clamor. It often conveys a sense of urgency, distress, or strong emotion. Word Origin: Derived from the verb κράζω (krazō), meaning "to cry out" or "to shout." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Hebrew equivalent often associated with κραυγή is צְעָקָה (tsa‘aqah • Strong's Hebrew 6818), which also means a cry or outcry, frequently used in the Old Testament to describe cries for help or expressions of distress. Another related term is זְעָקָה (ze‘aqah • Strong's Hebrew 2201), similarly denoting a cry or shout, often in contexts of lamentation or protest. Usage: • The term κραυγή is used in the New Testament to describe a loud vocal expression, often in contexts of distress, protest, or fervent appeal. Context: • The Greek word κραυγή appears in several New Testament passages, illustrating various contexts where a loud cry or outcry is significant. It is used to depict both human and divine expressions of intense emotion. • In Matthew 25:6, κραυγή is used in the parable of the ten virgins: "At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’" This instance highlights a sudden and urgent announcement. • In Acts 23:9, it describes the uproar among the Pharisees and Sadducees: "A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’ party stood up and contended sharply, 'We find nothing wrong in this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?'" Here, κραυγή signifies a tumultuous and contentious outcry. • Ephesians 4:31 uses κραυγή in a moral exhortation: "Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice." In this context, it refers to negative expressions of anger and discord that believers are urged to abandon. • Hebrews 5:7 describes Jesus' prayers: "During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence." Here, κραυγή emphasizes the intensity and earnestness of Jesus' supplications. • The use of κραυγή in these passages underscores its role in conveying strong emotional responses, whether in moments of divine revelation, human conflict, or spiritual devotion.
