Brown-Driver-Briggs שרשו Kt (i.e. שֹׁרְשׁוּ K§ 61, 4, 5), Qr שְׁרשִׁי noun feminine uprooting, figurative banishment; — absolute Ezra 7:26. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Aramaic; derived from the root שָׁרַשׁ (sharash), meaning "to root out" or "to uproot."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of eradication or exile in the Hebrew Bible can be compared to the Greek term found in Strong's Greek Number G3809, παιδεία (paideia), which refers to "instruction" or "discipline." While not a direct translation, the Greek term encompasses the idea of correction and training, which can be seen as a parallel to the purpose of exile in the Hebrew context—serving as a form of divine discipline intended to bring about repentance and restoration. Usage: This term is used in the context of being uprooted or exiled, often referring to the removal of people from their homeland as a form of judgment or punishment. Context: The Aramaic term שְׁרשׁוּ (sherashu) appears in the context of the Hebrew Bible, particularly in passages that discuss the theme of exile and removal. This term is closely associated with the concept of divine judgment, where a nation or people are uprooted from their land due to disobedience or as a consequence of their actions. The imagery of uprooting is powerful, symbolizing not only physical displacement but also a severing of cultural and spiritual roots. In the biblical narrative, exile is often portrayed as a period of trial and reflection, with the hope of eventual restoration and return. The use of שְׁרשׁוּ underscores the severity of such divine actions and serves as a reminder of the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where obedience leads to blessing and disobedience to exile.
