Word Origin: From the Greek words "peri" (around) and "trepo" (to turn) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "peritrepó," the concept of turning away or perverting can be related to Hebrew words like סוּר (sur, Strong's H5493), which means to turn aside or depart, and עָוַת (avah, Strong's H5753), meaning to pervert or distort. Usage: The verb "peritrepó" is used to describe the action of turning something around or away, often with the connotation of perverting or distorting its original purpose or meaning. In a biblical context, it can imply a deviation from truth or righteousness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of turning or changing direction was often used metaphorically to describe changes in behavior, beliefs, or circumstances. The idea of perversion or distortion was significant in both philosophical and religious discussions, as maintaining the integrity of truth and moral standards was a central concern.
