These Greek terms reflect similar themes of deception, corruption, and the influence of external forces, paralleling the Hebrew concept of סוּת (sut) in the context of incitement and seduction.

Usage: The verb סוּת (sut) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the idea of inciting or enticing someone to a particular action, often with a negative connotation such as seduction or provocation.

Context: The Hebrew verb סוּת (sut) appears in contexts where an individual is being incited or seduced into a particular course of action. This term is often associated with negative influences or actions that lead one away from righteousness. The root conveys a sense of stimulation or provocation, suggesting an external force or influence that pricks or stirs someone to act, often against their better judgment or moral standing.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the usage of סוּת (sut) can be seen in passages where individuals are led astray or provoked into actions that are contrary to God's will. The term underscores the susceptibility of human nature to external influences and the moral and spiritual challenges faced by individuals in maintaining their integrity and faithfulness.

The concept of seduction or incitement in the biblical context often serves as a warning against the dangers of yielding to temptation and the importance of discernment and steadfastness in one's faith journey. The verb סוּת (sut) thus highlights the ongoing spiritual battle and the need for vigilance against forces that seek to lead believers away from the path of righteousness.
