Usage: The verb רוּד (rud) is used in the context of wandering or roaming, often with a sense of restlessness or aimlessness. It can imply a physical wandering or a metaphorical sense of being unsettled.

Context: The Hebrew verb רוּד (rud) appears in the Old Testament with the primary meaning of wandering or roaming. This term is often associated with a sense of restlessness or a lack of a fixed abode. It can describe both physical movement and a metaphorical state of being unsettled or in turmoil.

In the Berean Standard Bible, רוּד is used in contexts that highlight the consequences of disobedience or divine judgment, where individuals or groups are depicted as being scattered or driven to wander. This wandering is not merely physical but can also reflect a spiritual or emotional state of being lost or without direction.

For example, in Genesis 4:12, the term is used in the context of Cain's punishment, where he is condemned to be a "restless wanderer" on the earth. This usage underscores the theme of alienation and the consequences of sin, as Cain is cast away from his community and forced into a life of aimless wandering.

The concept of רוּד also appears in prophetic literature, where it can symbolize the scattering of Israel due to disobedience. The imagery of wandering serves as a powerful metaphor for the spiritual and physical displacement experienced by the people.
