Strong's Lexicon sug: To turn back, to retreat, to backslide Original Word: סוּג Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 528: ἀποστρέφω (apostrephō) - to turn away, to reject - Strong's Greek 529: ἀποστασία (apostasia) - defection, apostasy Usage: The Hebrew verb "sug" primarily conveys the idea of turning back or retreating. It is often used in a metaphorical sense to describe a spiritual or moral backsliding, where an individual or group turns away from a previously held commitment or standard, particularly in relation to faithfulness to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Hebrew context, faithfulness to God was central to the covenant relationship between God and Israel. The concept of "turning back" or "backsliding" was a serious matter, as it indicated a breach of this covenant. The Israelites were often warned by prophets against turning away from God to follow other gods or to revert to sinful practices. This concept is deeply rooted in the covenantal theology of the Old Testament, where loyalty and obedience to God were paramount.
