These actions are often contextually understood rather than directly translated.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Greek verb "νεύω" (neuó) primarily means to nod or to make a gesture, often used to indicate a signal or to communicate non-verbally. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe a physical gesture that conveys a message or instruction without the use of words.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, non-verbal communication such as nodding or gesturing was a common way to convey messages, especially in situations where speaking was not possible or appropriate. This form of communication was understood across different cultures and was often used in both everyday interactions and more formal settings. In the context of the New Testament, such gestures would have been familiar to the audience and were used to convey subtle or private messages.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. verb<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to nod or beckon (as a sign)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>gestured (1), nodded (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 3506: νεύω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">νεύω</span></span>; 1 aorist participle <span class="greek2">νευσας</span>; <span class="accented">to give a nod; to signify by a nod</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
