Strong's Lexicon sur: To turn aside, depart, remove, take away Original Word: שׂוּר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G654 (apostrephō): To turn away, to remove - G868 (aphiēmi): To send away, to leave, to forgive Usage: The Hebrew verb "sur" primarily means to turn aside or depart. It is often used in the context of turning away from a path, removing something, or departing from a place or behavior. In a spiritual 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 oneself from a place was a common metaphor for spiritual repentance and renewal. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originthe same as sur, q.v.
