Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek terms, the concept of sweeping away or removing can be related to Greek terms that convey similar actions of cleansing or purging. Some Greek words that might capture similar themes include καθαίρω (kathairō • to cleanse, purge) and ἀφαιρέω (aphaireō • to take away, remove). These terms are used in the New Testament to describe actions of purification and removal, aligning with the thematic elements of טוּא (tua') in the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: The verb טוּא (tua') is used in the context of sweeping away or removing something completely. It conveys the action of clearing away or obliterating.

Context: • The Hebrew verb טוּא (tua') is a primitive root that appears in the context of removing or sweeping away. This term is used to describe the act of clearing away, often in a comprehensive or thorough manner. The imagery associated with טוּא is that of a sweeping action, which can imply both physical and metaphorical removal.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the usage of טוּא is seen in contexts where there is a need to depict the complete removal or obliteration of something, often as a divine act of judgment or purification. The term emphasizes the thoroughness and decisiveness of the action.
• The concept of sweeping away is significant in biblical literature, as it often relates to themes of divine judgment, cleansing, and renewal. The act of sweeping away can symbolize the removal of sin, impurity, or obstacles, making way for restoration and new beginnings.
