Strong's Lexicon sut: To incite, to provoke, to entice Original Word: שׂוּט Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3982 (peitho): To persuade, to convince - G3956 (pas): All, every (in the sense of being influenced or incited) Usage: The Hebrew verb "sut" primarily means to incite or provoke someone to action, often with a negative connotation. It is used in contexts where an individual is being stirred up or enticed to do something, typically something that is against God's will or commands. The term can imply a sense of persuasion or influence that leads to a particular course of action. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of incitement or provocation was significant, as it often related to the influence of leaders, prophets, or even foreign nations on the people of Israel. The idea of being led astray by external influences was a recurring theme in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting the constant tension between following God's commandments and succumbing to other temptations or pressures.
