stûr : Used transitively and intransitively to indicate inner, concentrated movement; translates a number of Hebrew and Greek verbs, each of which has its different shade of meaning. Thus, e.g. in Psalm 39:2 , we have ‛ākhar , "to be troubled," "excited"; in Song of Solomon 2:7 , ‛ur , "to awake," "disturb" (by the festal dances and songs). In 2 Timothy 1:6 , it stands for Greek anazōpuréō , used of the resuscitation of a flame; in 2 Peter 1:13; 2 Peter 3:1 , Greek diegeı́rō , "to awaken from sleep or stupor"; in Acts 21:27 , Greek sugchéō , "to commingle," vividly portraying the confusion and tumult that resulted; in Acts 13:50 , Greek parotrúnō , "to urge on"; Acts 17:13 , Greek saleúō , "to shake to and fro."
