Strong's Lexicon luz: To turn aside, to depart, to be perverse Original Word: לוּז Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "luz," the concept of turning aside or departing can be found in Greek words such as "ἀποστρέφω" (apostrephō - Strong's Greek 654), which means to turn away or to reject. Usage: The Hebrew verb "luz" primarily means to turn aside or to depart. It can also carry the connotation of being perverse or deviating from a standard or path. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often implies a moral or ethical deviation, suggesting a departure from God's ways or commands. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, adherence to God's laws and commands was central to the community's identity and relationship with God. The concept of turning aside or departing from these laws was seen as a serious transgression. The use of "luz" in the Hebrew Bible reflects the importance of maintaining faithfulness to God's covenant and the consequences of straying from it.
