It conveys the idea of being tossed about by powerful and uncontrollable forces, whether literal or figurative.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Mediterranean world, the sea was often seen as a symbol of chaos and danger. Mariners of the time were well-acquainted with the unpredictability of the sea, and waves were a common metaphor for life's challenges and uncertainties. The imagery of waves and storms was frequently used in Jewish and early Christian literature to describe trials, divine judgment, or spiritual instability.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from kluzó (to wash over)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a billow (of water)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>surf (1), surging waves (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 2830: κλύδων</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κλύδων</span></span>, <span class="greek2">κλύδωνος</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="greek2">κλύζω</span>, to wash against); from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; a dashing or surging <span class="accented">wave, a surge, a violent agitation of the sea</span>: <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">ὕδατος</span>, <a href="/interlinear/luke/8-24.htm">Luke 8:24</a>; <span class="greek2">τῆς</span> <span class="greek2">θαλάσσης</span>, <a href="/interlinear/james/1-6.htm">James 1:6</a> (<a href="/interlinear/jonah/1-4.htm">Jonah 1:4, 12</a>; Wis. 14:5).<FOOTNOTE:1> [<span class="arttitle">SYNONYMS:</span> <span class="greek2">κλύδων</span>, <span class="greek2">κῦμα</span>: <span class="greek2">κῦμα</span> <span class="accented">a wave,</span> suggesting uninterrupted succession; <span class="greek2">κλύδων</span> <span class="accented">a billow, surge,</span> suggesting size and extension.
