Strong's Lexicon rud: To wander, roam, stray, restlessly move Original Word: רוּד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is πλανάω (planáō), which means to wander or go astray. This term is used in the New Testament to describe spiritual wandering or deception (e.g., Matthew 18:12, James 5:19). Usage: The Hebrew verb רוּד (rud) primarily conveys the idea of wandering or roaming, often with a sense of restlessness or aimlessness. It can imply a physical movement from place to place without a fixed destination or a metaphorical straying from a path or purpose. This term is used in contexts where individuals or groups are depicted as moving without clear direction or purpose, often as a result of divine judgment or personal disobedience. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of wandering was often associated with nomadic lifestyles, exile, or divine punishment. The Israelites, for example, experienced periods of wandering during their history, most notably during the 40 years in the wilderness. This wandering was seen as a consequence of disobedience and a lack of faith. The idea of being a wanderer or a sojourner also carried spiritual connotations, reflecting a life lived in dependence on God and a recognition of the transient nature of earthly existence.
