Strong's Lexicon exótheó: To drive out, to thrust out, to push away Original Word: ἐξωθέω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐκ" (ek, meaning "out of") and "ὠθέω" (ōtheō, meaning "to push" or "to thrust"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of driving out or expelling is יָרַשׁ (yarash, Strong's H3423), which means to possess, dispossess, or drive out. Usage: The verb "exótheó" is used in the New Testament to describe the action of forcefully driving or thrusting something or someone out. It conveys a sense of expulsion or rejection, often with a connotation of urgency or necessity. This term is used in contexts where there is a physical or metaphorical removal or rejection. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of expulsion or rejection was not uncommon, whether in social, legal, or religious contexts. The act of driving out could be seen in various aspects of life, from the expulsion of individuals from a community to the rejection of ideas or practices. In the Jewish context, the idea of being cast out or rejected had significant implications, especially concerning purity laws and community belonging.
