Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for לוּז (luz) in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of turning aside or departing can be related to Greek terms such as ἐκκλίνω (ekklino • Strong's Greek 1578), which means to turn aside or deviate, often used in the context of moral or ethical departure. Usage: • The verb לוּז (luz) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe actions of turning aside or departing from a path, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. It can also imply a sense of being perverse or deviating from what is considered right or normal. Context: • The Hebrew root לוּז (luz) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, often carrying the connotation of deviation or departure from a prescribed path. This can be seen in both physical and moral dimensions. For instance, in Proverbs 3:21, the term is used metaphorically to advise against departing from wisdom and discretion: "My son, do not lose sight of this: Preserve sound judgment and discernment." Here, the idea is to remain steadfast and not turn aside from the path of wisdom.
