Thayer's Expanded Definition

ἡσυχάζω; 1 aorist ἡσύχασα; (ἥσυχος (equivalent to ἡσύχιος)); as in Greek writings from Aeschylus down, to keep quiet, i. e.

a. to rest, to cease from labor: Luke 23:56.

b. to lead a quiet life, said of those who are not running hither and thither, but stay at home and mind their business: 1 Thessalonians 4:11.

c. to be silent, i. e. to say nothing, hold one's peace: Luke 14:4 (3); Acts 11:18; Acts 21:14 (Job 32:7; ἡσύχασαν καί οὐχ εὕροσαν λόγον, Nehemiah 5:8). [SYNONYMS: ἡσυχάζειν, σιγᾶν, σιωπαν: ἡσσυχάζειν describes a quiet condition in the general, inclusive of silence; σιγᾶν describes a mental condition and its manifestation, especially in speechlessness (silence from fear, grief, awe, etc.); σιωπαν, the more external and physical term, denotes abstinence from speech, especially as antithetic to loquacity. Schmidt i., chapter 9; iv., chapter 175.]

Abbott-Smith Manual Greek Lexicon of the New Testament

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For this favourite Lukan word (see also 1 Thessalonians 4:11) cf. P Tebt II. 330.8 (ii/A.D.) ὅθεν οὐ δυνάμ [ε ]νος ἡσυχάζειν ἐπιδίδωμι ";wherefore, being unable to submit to this, I apply to you"; (Edd.)—a petition to the strategus, and BGU II. 372ii. 14 (A.D. 154) ἄλλοις δὲ τῶν ποτε προγραφ [έ ]ντων ἡσυχάζουσι καὶ ἐν τῇ οἰκείᾳ τῇ γεω [ργ ]ίᾳ προσκατέρχουσι (l. προσκατέχουσι) μὴ ἐνοχλεῖν —a good example of the force of the verb in 1 Th l.c. : cf. also PSI I. 41.28 (iv/A.D.) σ ]ωφρονῖν καὶ ἡσυχάζειν, and the late P Oxy I. 128 verso.2 (vi/vii A.D.) Παμούθιος. . ἐβουλήθη ἐπαναχωρῆσαι τῶν πραγμάτων καὶ ἡσυχάσαι, ";Pamouthius has expressed the desire to retire from his duties and take rest"; (Edd.).
