Strong's Lexicon Sotay: "One who goes astray" or "deviant." Original Word: סוֹטַי Word Origin: Derived from the root סוּט (sut), meaning "to turn aside" or "to go astray." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of going astray is πλανάω (planáō - Strong's Greek 4105), which means "to lead astray" or "to wander." Usage: The term "Sotay" is used to describe someone who has deviated from a prescribed path, often in a moral or spiritual sense. It is associated with the idea of straying from God's commandments or engaging in behavior that is considered unfaithful or rebellious. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, adherence to the covenant with God was paramount. Deviating from this covenant, whether through idolatry, immorality, or other forms of disobedience, was seen as a serious offense. The concept of "going astray" was not only a personal failing but also a communal concern, as it could bring divine judgment upon the entire community. The term "Sotay" would have been understood within this context of covenant faithfulness and the consequences of straying from it.
