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: dispossession Meaning: The term "dispossession" refers to the act of being driven out or expelled from a place, often in the context of land or property. Word Origin: Derived from the root verb גָּרַשׁ (garash), meaning "to drive out" or "to expel." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 1544: ἐκβάλλω (ekballō) • to cast out, drive out, or expel. • Strong's Greek Number 1849: ἐξουσία (exousia) • authority, power, often used in the context of the authority to expel or dispossess. The concept of dispossession as seen in גְרֻשָׁה is integral to understanding the narrative of the Israelites' conquest and settlement in Canaan, reflecting both the physical and spiritual dimensions of God's covenant with His people. Usage: The word גְרֻשָׁה is used in the context of the Israelites' conquest of Canaan, where the inhabitants of the land were dispossessed to make way for the people of Israel. It is a term that signifies the removal or expulsion of people from their land. Context: The Hebrew term גְרֻשָׁה (Gerushah) is primarily associated with the concept of dispossession, particularly in the context of the Israelites entering the Promised Land. This term is rooted in the divine mandate given to the Israelites to take possession of Canaan, a land promised to them by God. The dispossession of the Canaanite inhabitants was seen as a fulfillment of God's promise and a necessary step for the establishment of Israel as a nation. The act of dispossession was not merely a physical removal but also carried spiritual and covenantal significance, as it was part of God's plan to establish a holy people in a land set apart for His purposes. The term underscores the themes of divine sovereignty, judgment, and the fulfillment of covenant promises.
