It implies a peaceful and calm disposition, free from disturbance or agitation. This term is used to describe both an external quietness and an internal peace of mind.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "hésuchia" was valued as a virtue, often associated with self-control and moderation. It was seen as an ideal state for philosophers and those seeking wisdom. In the Jewish context, quietness was also esteemed, particularly in relation to one's conduct and speech, reflecting a life of order and godliness.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 2271</b> <i>hēsy<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>ía</i> (from <i>hēsy<smallcaps>x</smallcaps>os</i>, "quiet, stillness") – quietness, implying calm; for the believer, <a href="/greek/2271.htm">2271</a> (<i>hēsyxía</i>) is used of their <i>God-produced calm</i> which includes an inner tranquility that supports appropriate action.
