Context: The Hebrew verb שׂוּג (sug) is a primitive root that conveys the action of retreating or turning back. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a physical withdrawal or a metaphorical turning away, often in the context of abandoning a previous stance or commitment. This term can be found in various passages where individuals or groups are depicted as retreating from a position, either due to fear, reconsideration, or divine intervention.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the concept of retreating is often associated with a lack of faith or a failure to uphold one's commitments. For example, in contexts where the Israelites are described as turning back from following God's commands, the term שׂוּג (sug) may be employed to illustrate their retreat from faithfulness.

The usage of שׂוּג (sug) highlights the importance of steadfastness and the consequences of retreating from one's obligations or divine instructions. It serves as a reminder of the spiritual and moral implications of turning away from one's commitments.
