Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G1544 (ἐκβάλλω, ekballō), which means to cast out, drive out, or send away. This Greek term shares a similar semantic field with טָרַד (tarad), as both involve the action of expelling or driving away. In the New Testament, ἐκβάλλω is frequently used in contexts such as casting out demons or driving out individuals from a place, reflecting a comparable forceful action to that of the Hebrew term. Usage: The verb טָרַד (tarad) is used in the context of pursuing or driving away. It conveys the action of following closely or causing someone or something to move forward or away. Context: The Hebrew verb טָרַד (tarad) appears in the Old Testament with the primary sense of driving or pursuing. It is a term that suggests a forceful action, often used in contexts where one is compelled to move or is being chased. The root is associated with the idea of relentless pursuit or the act of driving out. In the Berean Standard Bible, this term is used to describe actions that involve a determined following or expulsion. For example, in Job 18:18, it is used metaphorically to describe the fate of the wicked: "He is driven from light into darkness and is chased from the inhabited world." This usage underscores the concept of being pursued or expelled with intensity.
