Strong's Lexicon karuthah: Cut off, cutting Original Word: כָּרֻתָה Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּרַת (karath), meaning "to cut" or "to cut off." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is ἀποκόπτω (apokoptō), meaning "to cut off" or "to amputate." Usage: The term "karuthah" is used to describe something that has been cut off or severed. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often refers to a state of being separated or removed, whether physically, socially, or spiritually. The root idea of cutting or severing is central to its meaning. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of being "cut off" carried significant weight. It could refer to physical separation from the community, such as exile or banishment, or to spiritual separation from God due to sin or disobedience. The idea of cutting or making a covenant (karath berith) is also related, as covenants often involved a ritual cutting or sacrifice to signify the seriousness and binding nature of the agreement.
