Strong's G4623 (Greek)

Greek: σιωπάω (siōpáō)

Pronunciation: see-o-pah'-o

Derivation: from σιωπή (siōpḗ) (silence, i.e. a hush; properly, muteness, i.e. involuntary stillness, or inability to speak; and thus differing from G4602, which is rather a voluntary refusal or indisposition to speak, although the terms are often used synonymously)

Definition: to be dumb (but not deaf also, like 2974 properly); figuratively, to be calm (as quiet water)

KJV Renderings: dumb, (hold) peace
