Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of deception or error is תָּעָה (ta'ah - Strong's H8582), which means to err, wander, or go astray.

Usage: The term "plané" in the New Testament is used to describe a state of being led astray or being in error, often in a spiritual or moral sense. It conveys the idea of deviation from truth or righteousness, resulting in a form of spiritual or moral wandering. This word is frequently associated with false teachings, heresies, and the influence of deceptive spirits.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of deception was not only a moral failing but also a significant concern in philosophical and religious contexts. The early Christian community was particularly vigilant against false teachings and deceptive practices that could lead believers away from the truth of the Gospel. The use of "plané" reflects the early church's emphasis on maintaining doctrinal purity and the dangers posed by false prophets and teachers.
