Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and τινάσσω (tinassō, 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 from something can be related to Hebrew terms that convey similar actions or symbolic gestures. However, specific Strong's Hebrew entries that directly correspond to the Greek term are not readily available, as the act of shaking off dust is more culturally and contextually specific to the New Testament narrative. Usage: The term ἀποτινάσσω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of shaking off something, often in a metaphorical sense, such as shaking off dust from one's feet as a testimony against those who do not receive the message of the Gospel. Context: The Greek verb ἀποτινάσσω appears in the New Testament in contexts where individuals are instructed to symbolically shake off dust from their feet. This act serves as a testimony against those who reject the message of the Gospel, signifying a disassociation or a declaration of having fulfilled one's duty in delivering the message. The act of shaking off dust is a symbolic gesture rooted in Jewish customs, where it was used to signify separation from Gentile practices or to express a clear conscience before God regarding the rejection of His message.
