1: σαλεύω

(Strong's #4531 — Verb — saleuo — sal-yoo'-o )

"to agitate shake," primarily of the action of stormy winds, waves, etc., is used (a) literally, of a reed, Matthew 11:7; Luke 7:24; a vessel, "shaken" in filling, Luke 6:38; a building, Luke 6:48; Acts 4:31; 16:26; the natural forces of the heavens and heavenly bodies, Matthew 24:29; Mark 13:25; Luke 21:26; the earth, Hebrews 12:26 , "shook;" (b) metaphorically, (1) of "shaking" so as to make insecure, Hebrews 12:27 (twice); (2) of casting down from a sense of security, Acts 2:25 , "I should (not) be moved;" (3) to stir up (a crowd), Acts 17:13; (4) to unsettle, 2 Thessalonians 2:2 , "(to the end that) ye be not (quickly) shaken (from your mind)," i.e., from their settled conviction and the purpose of heart begotten by it, as to the return of Christ before the Day of the Lord begins; the metaphor may be taken from the loosening of a ship from its moorings by a storm.
