Near synonyms 1 word
σαλεύω saleúō · G4531 · to shake, to stir up against, to start a riot
Greek verb meaning to shake or cause to waver, often used figuratively of being moved from stability or steadfastness (e.g., faith, resolve). Overlaps with μετακινέω in the figurative sense of causing someone to be moved/removed from a firm position, though σαλεύω emphasizes the shaking motion itself.
Contrasting words 2 words
στηρίζω stērízō · G4741 · to strengthen, to make more firm, to cause to be fixed
Greek verb meaning to set firmly, establish, or make stable. Direct lexical opposite of μετακινέω: where μετακινέω means to move/remove from a position, στηρίζω means to fix firmly in place and prevent movement.
βεβαιόω bebaióō · G950 · to cause to believe, to establish in belief, to confirm
Greek verb meaning to make firm, secure, or stable. Functions as an antonym to μετακινέω in that it denotes securing something in its position rather than removing or moving it away.

מוֹט môwṭ · H4131 · to move, to shake, to slip
Hebrew verb for being moved, shaken, or caused to slip from a position, used both literally and figuratively (e.g., Ps 46:5, 'God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved'). The Hiphil causative form corresponds well to the transitive, causative sense of μετακινέω (to cause to move/remove).
