uprising
stasis denotes a public conflict or revolt, and in one setting the continued standing of the first tent.
The predominant use denotes public conflict, revolt, or factional division: it names disputes involving Paul, a split crowd, and the insurrection associated with Barabbas. In Hebrews 9:8, the accusative singular occurs in the statement that the first tent was still standing, indicating a distinct use for continued standing.

Public conflict, revolt, or division · dominant
In Acts 15:2, the genitive singular occurs when conflict arises with Paul and Barnabas over a question. In Acts 23:7, the nominative singular is followed by the multitude being split, while Acts 23:10 describes such a conflict becoming great enough that the military officer fears Paul will be torn apart. The APB also places the term in accusations of city-wide unrest and in the imprisonment of Barabbas in Luke 23:19 and Mark 15:7.

Continued standing · rare
In Hebrews 9:8, the accusative singular appears in the clause about the first tent being still standing; the APB renders the verse's condition as “while the first tent was still standing.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the dominant use with “uprising,” “riots,” and “insurrection,” in clauses concerning conflict or unrest; it renders Hebrews 9:8 with the first tent “still standing.” These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
