Strong's Lexicon zureh: To be estranged, to turn aside, to be a stranger. Original Word: זוּרֶה Word Origin: Derived from the root זור (zur), which generally means to be a stranger or to turn aside. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of estrangement or turning aside is ἀποστρέφω (apostrephō), which means to turn away or to reject. Usage: The Hebrew verb "zureh" conveys the idea of being estranged or turning aside. It often implies a sense of alienation or separation, whether physically, relationally, or spiritually. In the context of the Old Testament, it can refer to the estrangement of people from God, from their community, or from their intended path. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, being estranged or turning aside could have significant implications. It might refer to someone who is physically separated from their community, such as a foreigner or an exile. Spiritually, it could denote a person who has turned away from the covenant relationship with God, which was central to Israelite identity and religious practice. The concept of estrangement is often linked with themes of repentance and restoration, as the community and individuals are called back to faithfulness.
