These Hebrew terms share a thematic connection with ἀπόβλητος, as they also convey the idea of rejection or being cast aside, often in a spiritual or moral context.

Usage: This word is used in the context of describing something that is discarded or deemed unworthy of keeping. It conveys a sense of rejection or being cast aside.

Context: The Greek term ἀπόβλητος appears in the New Testament to describe objects or individuals that are rejected or considered of no value. In the cultural and historical context of the New Testament, the concept of being "cast away" or "rejected" often carried significant implications, both socially and spiritually. The term is used to illustrate the idea of being deemed unworthy or unsuitable, often in a moral or spiritual sense.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to emphasize the gravity of rejection, whether it be by God or by society. The notion of being ἀπόβλητος can be seen as a warning against behaviors or attitudes that lead to spiritual rejection. It serves as a reminder of the importance of aligning oneself with divine principles to avoid being cast away.

The use of ἀπόβλητος in the New Testament underscores the transformative power of faith and repentance, offering hope that what is once rejected can be redeemed and restored through divine grace. This aligns with the broader biblical narrative of redemption and restoration, where the rejected are often given new life and purpose through God's intervention.
