In the context of the New Testament, it often conveys the idea of a physical or metaphorical disturbance. The term can also imply a gesture of waving, often used in a threatening or demonstrative manner.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, gestures and physical expressions were significant in communication. The act of shaking or waving could be used to express strong emotions such as anger, warning, or emphasis. In the context of the New Testament, such actions would have been understood as powerful non-verbal cues, often accompanying speech to underscore a point or to demonstrate authority.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a> and <a href="/greek/4579.htm">seió</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to shake<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>motioned (2), motioning (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2678: κατασείω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κατασείω</span></span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">κατεσεισα</span>;
