Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root נוּא (nuw'), which conveys the idea of shaking or wavering, often implying instability or alienation.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that corresponds to the concept of alienation or enmity is found in Strong's Greek Number G2372, θυμός (thumos), which can denote passion, anger, or wrath. While not a direct translation, θυμός captures the emotional intensity often associated with enmity or alienation, reflecting the relational breach that תְּנוּאָה implies in the Hebrew context.

Usage: The word תְּנוּאָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a condition of separation or hostility, particularly in the context of relationships that have become strained or broken.

Context: תְּנוּאָה (tenu'ah) appears in the Hebrew Scriptures to articulate a sense of division or hostility, often in the context of divine-human relationships or interpersonal conflicts. The term is rooted in the concept of instability or wavering, suggesting a departure from a state of harmony or unity. In the biblical narrative, alienation can occur as a result of sin, disobedience, or betrayal, leading to a breakdown in fellowship and the introduction of enmity. This concept is significant in understanding the dynamics of covenant relationships in the Bible, where alienation from God or others necessitates reconciliation and restoration.
