1. universally, in Greek writing, any casting down of a thing from its proper place or state; displacement (Aristotle, Plutarch).

2. a throwing of the mind out of its normal state, alienation of mind, whether such as makes a lunatic (διανοίας, Deuteronomy 28:28; τῶν λογισμῶν, Plutarch, Sol. 8), or that of the man who by some sudden emotion is transported as it were out of himself, so that in this rapt condition, although he is awake, his mind is so drawn off from all surrounding objects and wholly fixed on things divine that he sees nothing but the forms and images lying within, and thinks that he perceives with his bodily eyes and ears realities shown him by God (Philo,quis rerum divin. heres § 53 (cf. 51; B. D. under the word, Trance; Delitzsch, Psychol. 5:5)): ἐπέπεσεν (Rec., others ἐγένετο) ἐπ' ἔκστασις, Acts 10:10; εἶδεν ἐν ἐκστάσει ὅραμα, Acts 11:5; γενέσθαι ἐν ἐκστάσει, Acts 22:17, cf. 2 Corinthians 12:2f.

3. In the O. T. and the New amazement (cf. Longinus, 1, 4; Stobaeus, flor. tit. 104, 7), the state of one who, either owing to the importance or the novelty of an event, is thrown into a state of blended fear and wonder: εἶχεν αὐτάς τρόμος καί ἔκστασις, Mark 16:8; ἐξέστησαν ἐκστάσει μεγάλη, Mark 5:42 (Ezekiel 26:16); ἔκστασις ἔλαβεν ἅπαντας, Luke 5:26; ἐπλήσθησαν θάμβους καί ἐκστάσεως, Acts 3:10; (for חֲרָדָה, trembling, Genesis 27:33; 1 Samuel 14:15, etc.; פַּחַד, fear, 2 Chronicles 14:14, etc.).

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἔκστασις is used = ";cessio bonorum"; in CPR I. 20ii. 9 (A.D. 250) τὰ ἀντιγραφέντα μοι. . . [ἐ ]ξ ἀξιώσεώς μου μ [ε ]τ᾽ ἐκστάσεως πάντων τῶν ὑπαρχόντων μου : see the editor’s note p. 106 and cf. Chrest. II. i. p. 287 f. For τέλος ἐκστάσεως i.e. an ἐγκύκλιον or tax on sales, see the editors’ introduction to P Tebt II. 350, and cf. BGU III. 914.6 (A.D. 113). The curse of Deuteronomy 28:28 is repeated in Syll 891.14 (ii/A.D.) τοῦτόν τε θεὸς πατάξαι ἀπορίᾳ. . . καὶ παραπληξίᾳ καὶ ἀορασίᾳ καὶ ἐκστάσει διανοίας. A good illustration of the NT usage is afforded by the new Menander fragment, Menandrea p. 35.472 βρυχηθμὸς ἔνδον, τιλμός, ἔκστασις συχνή, ";in the house there followed a bellowing, a tearing of hair, and frequent outbursts of frenzy."; See also Hobart, p. 41.
