It is often used to describe actions or attitudes that are rebellious or defiant, particularly against authority or divine order. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe the raging or tumultuous behavior of people or nations.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "phruassó" would have been understood in the context of social and political unrest. The term could describe the behavior of individuals or groups who were seen as challenging the established order, whether in a civic, familial, or religious context. This kind of behavior was often frowned upon, as it disrupted the harmony and stability valued in ancient societies.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>5433</b> <i>phryássō</i> – properly, to snort, "vehemently neigh" (like a horse, <i>MM</i>); (figuratively) to act with rage (literally like "an uncontrolled horse").</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to neigh, whinny, fig. to be wanton<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>rage (1).<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 5433: φρυάσσω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">φρυάσσω</span></span>: 1 aorist 3 person plural <span class="greek2">ἐφρύαξαν</span>; (everywhere in secular authors and also in Macc. as a deponent middle <span class="greek2">φρυάσσομαι</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 24)); <span class="accented">to neigh, stamp the ground, prance, snort; to be high-spirited</span>: properly, of horses (<span class="abbreviation">Anthol.</span> 5, 202, 4; <span class="abbreviation">Callimachus</span> (<DATE_RANGE:260 B.C.>) lav.
