It is used to describe situations where there is a lack of peace, often due to external circumstances or internal agitation. In the New Testament, it is used to convey the idea of emotional or social upheaval.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, "tarachos" would have been understood in the context of both personal and societal disturbances. The ancient world was familiar with political unrest, social upheaval, and personal turmoil, much like today. The term captures the essence of chaos that disrupts the normal order of life, whether in a community or within an individual's heart.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a later form of taraché (disorder)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>disturbance, trouble<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>disturbance (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 5017: τάραχος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">τάραχος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ταραχου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="greek2">παράσσω</span>), <span class="accented">commotion, stir</span> (of mind): <a href="/interlinear/acts/12-18.htm">Acts 12:18</a>; <span class="accented">tumult</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
