Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root שׂוּג (sug), which means to move away or to withdraw.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek terms, the concept of withdrawal can be related to Greek terms such as ἀναχωρέω (anachōreō • Strong's Greek 402), which means to withdraw or depart, and ὑποχωρέω (hypochōreō • Strong's Greek 5298), which also means to withdraw or retreat. These Greek terms capture similar themes of moving away or retreating, often used in the New Testament to describe physical or strategic withdrawals.

Usage: This term is used in the context of a physical or metaphorical withdrawal, indicating a movement away or a retreat from a position or state.

Context: • The Hebrew word שִׂיג (SiG) is a noun that appears in the context of describing a withdrawal or retreat. It is derived from the root שׂוּג (sug), which conveys the idea of moving away or backing off. This term is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, but when it does appear, it often carries the connotation of a strategic or necessary retreat, whether in a physical, emotional, or spiritual sense.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the concept of withdrawal can be seen in various contexts, such as when individuals or groups retreat from a confrontation or when there is a divine or moral withdrawal due to disobedience or sin. The term שִׂיג underscores the importance of understanding the reasons and implications behind such retreats, often pointing to a need for reflection, repentance, or strategic repositioning.
• The usage of שִׂיג in the Hebrew Bible highlights the dynamic nature of human and divine interactions, where withdrawal can serve as a means of protection, correction, or preparation for future engagement.
