Strong's Lexicon sowrah: Turning aside, deviation, apostasy Original Word: שׂוֹרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root שׂוּר (sur), which means to turn aside or to depart. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is ἀποστασία (apostasia), Strong's Greek #646, which also means defection or apostasy. Usage: The term "sowrah" is used to describe a turning away or deviation from a prescribed path or standard. In a biblical context, it often refers to a spiritual or moral apostasy, where individuals or groups turn away from God's commandments and covenant. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, adherence to the covenant with Yahweh was central to the community's identity and relationship with God. Apostasy, or turning away from this covenant, was seen as a grave sin, often leading to social and spiritual consequences. The concept of "sowrah" would have been understood as a serious breach of faith, warranting repentance and return to the covenantal path.
