In a metaphorical sense, it is used to describe the act of confounding or perplexing individuals or groups, often resulting in a state of confusion or disarray. This term is used in the New Testament to describe both physical and mental states of confusion.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of confusion or disorder was often associated with chaos, which was seen as the opposite of the ordered cosmos. The Greeks valued order and clarity, both in thought and in the physical world. In the context of the New Testament, the term reflects the disruption of understanding or the breakdown of social or spiritual order, often as a result of divine intervention or human misunderstanding.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>4797</b> <i>sygxéō</i> (from <a href="/greek/4862.htm">4862</a> <i>/sýn</i>, "identified <i>with</i>" and
