Strong's Lexicon sug: To turn back, to retreat, to backslide Original Word: שׂוּג Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 528: ἀποστρέφω (apostrephō) – to turn away, to turn back - Strong's Greek 529: ἀποστάσιον (apostasion) – a defection, a divorce, a falling away 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 context of ancient Israel, faithfulness to God was central to the covenant relationship between God and His people. The concept of backsliding, therefore, was a serious issue, as it indicated a breach of this covenant. Prophets and leaders frequently called the people to repentance and renewal of their commitment to God, warning against the dangers of turning back to old ways or foreign gods.
