Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀνασείω, similar concepts of inciting or stirring up can be found in Hebrew words like סוּת (suth, Strong's H5496), which means "to incite" or "to provoke."
Usage:The verb ἀνασείω (anaseió) is used in the New Testament to describe the act of stirring up or inciting people, often in a context of causing unrest or agitation. It conveys the idea of provoking or rousing individuals to action, typically in a negative or disruptive manner.
Cultural and Historical Background:In the Greco-Roman world, public speaking and rhetoric were powerful tools for influencing the masses. Leaders and agitators often used persuasive speech to incite crowds, whether for political, social, or religious purposes. The term ἀνασείω reflects this cultural context, where stirring up a group could lead to significant social or political consequences.
