Strong's Lexicon gerushah: Expulsion, banishment, possession Original Word: גְרֻשָׁה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: grushah Pronunciation: geh-roo-SHAH Phonetic Spelling: (gher-oo-shaw') Definition: Expulsion, banishment, possession Meaning: dispossession Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּרַשׁ (garash), meaning "to drive out" or "to expel." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "gerushah," the concept of expulsion or possession can be related to Greek terms such as ἐκβάλλω (ekballo - G1544), meaning "to cast out," and κληρονομία (kleronomia - G2817), meaning "inheritance." Usage: The term "gerushah" primarily refers to the act of expulsion or banishment. It can also denote a possession, particularly in the context of land or inheritance. The word is used to describe the act of driving out inhabitants from a land, often in the context of divine judgment or fulfillment of God's promises to His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, land was a critical component of identity and inheritance. The concept of "gerushah" is closely tied to the idea of land possession and the divine mandate given to the Israelites to occupy the Promised Land. The expulsion of previous inhabitants was seen as a necessary step in fulfilling God's covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This reflects the broader Ancient Near Eastern context where land possession was often linked to divine favor and blessing.
