Strong's Lexicon tarad: To drive away, to banish, to thrust out Original Word: טָרַד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of driving away or banishment can be related to Greek terms such as ἐκβάλλω (ekballō - Strong's G1544), which means to cast out or expel. Usage: The Hebrew verb "tarad" primarily means to drive away or banish. It conveys a sense of forceful removal or expulsion. This term is often used in contexts where individuals or groups are driven out from a place or position, either physically or metaphorically. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, being driven out or banished was a severe punishment, often associated with shame and loss of community. The concept of expulsion is significant in the biblical narrative, reflecting themes of judgment, separation, and the consequences of disobedience. The act of driving away can also symbolize divine judgment or the removal of impurity from the community.
