The term is used in various contexts, including the forsaking of people, places, or even God. It can also mean to permit or allow something to happen, as well as to spread out or extend.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of forsaking or abandoning was significant, especially in terms of covenant relationships.
