Strong's Lexicon sur: To turn aside, depart, remove, take away Original Word: סוּר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G868 (ἀφίημι, aphiemi): To send away, leave, permit - G654 (ἀποστρέφω, apostrepho): To turn away, reject Usage: The Hebrew verb "sur" primarily means to turn aside, depart, or remove. It is often used in the context of turning away from a path, removing something from a place, or departing from a course of action. In a spiritual or moral sense, it can refer to turning away from sin or departing from God's commandments. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of turning or departing was significant both physically and spiritually. The Israelites were often called to "turn away" from idolatry and sin and to "return" to the Lord. The physical act of turning or removing something was often symbolic of a deeper spiritual or moral action. The idea of "sur" is deeply embedded in the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where obedience and faithfulness were paramount. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originthe same as sur, q.v.
