This action is symbolic, often representing a rejection or a testimony against those who do not receive the message of the Gospel. It signifies a separation or a disassociation from those who are unresponsive or hostile to the message of Christ.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the cultural context of the New Testament, shaking off the dust from one's feet was a gesture performed by Jews when leaving Gentile territories, symbolizing a separation from pagan practices and a cleansing from defilement. In the context of early Christian missions, this act was adapted to signify a testimony against those who rejected the Gospel, indicating that the responsibility for their unbelief rested upon them.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">ek</a> and tinassó (to swing)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to shake off or out<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>shake...off (2), shook (1), shook off (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 1621: ἐκτινάσσω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐκτινάσσω</span></span>: 1 aorist imperative <span class="greek2">ἐκτινάξατε</span>; 1 aorist middle participle <span class="greek2">ἐκτιναξάμενος</span>; <span class="accented">to shake off,</span> so that something adhering shall fall: <span class="greek2">τόν</span> <span class="greek2">χοῦν</span>, <a href="/interlinear/mark/6-11.htm">Mark 6:11</a>; <span class="greek2">τόν</span> <span class="greek2">κονιορτόν</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/10-14.htm">Matthew 10:14</a> (where the genitive <span class="greek2">τῶν</span> <span class="greek2">ποδῶν</span> does not depend on the verb but on the substantive (<span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> marginal reading, however, insert <span class="greek2">ἐκ</span>)); by this symbolic act a person expresses extreme contempt for another and refuses to have any further contact with him (<span class="abbreviation">B.
