It can also refer to a metaphorical shaking, indicating turmoil or commotion among people or nations. The term is used to convey both literal and figurative senses of instability and disturbance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, earthquakes were seen as manifestations of divine power and judgment.
