Strong's Lexicon dechi: Rejection, thrusting away Original Word: דְּחִי Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּחָה (dachah), which means "to push," "thrust," or "reject." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament for similar concepts of rejection includes ἀποδοκιμάζω (apodokimazo - Strong's Greek 593), meaning "to reject" or "to disapprove." Usage: The term "dechi" is used to convey the concept of rejection or being thrust aside. It often implies a forceful or deliberate action of pushing away, whether in a physical, social, or spiritual context. In the Hebrew Bible, it can describe the act of rejecting individuals, ideas, or divine commands. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of rejection was significant both in social and religious contexts. Being rejected could mean exclusion from community life, loss of social standing, or divine disfavor. The Israelites understood rejection not only as a social or personal experience but also as a spiritual condition that could affect one's relationship with God. The idea of being thrust away from God's presence was particularly poignant, as it signified a breach in the covenant relationship.
