Strong's Lexicon zuwr: To be a stranger, to estrange, to turn aside, to be foreign Original Word: זוּר Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: zuwr Pronunciation: zoor Phonetic Spelling: (zoor) Definition: To be a stranger, to estrange, to turn aside, to be foreign Meaning: to turn aside, to be a, foreigner, strange, profane, to commit adultery Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G245 (allotrios): Pertaining to another, foreign, strange - G3581 (xenos): A stranger, foreigner Usage: The Hebrew verb "zuwr" primarily conveys the idea of being a stranger or foreigner. It is used to describe someone who is not part of a particular group or community, often implying a sense of alienation or separation. The term can also denote the act of turning aside or deviating from a path, both physically and metaphorically. In a spiritual context, it can refer to turning away from God or His commandments. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of being a "stranger" or "foreigner" carried significant social and religious implications. Foreigners were often viewed with suspicion and were not afforded the same rights and privileges as native-born Israelites. The Law of Moses, however, included specific instructions on how to treat foreigners, emphasizing justice and compassion (e.g., Exodus 22:21, Leviticus 19:34). The term "zuwr" reflects the boundaries and distinctions that were important in maintaining the identity and purity of the Israelite community. Brown-Driver-Briggs I.
