Strong's Lexicon ta'a': To err, to wander, to go astray Original Word: תָּעַע Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4105 (πλανάω, planaō): To lead astray, to deceive, to wander - G4106 (πλάνη, planē): Error, delusion, wandering Usage: The Hebrew verb "ta'a'" primarily conveys the idea of wandering or going astray, both in a physical and metaphorical sense. It is often used to describe the act of straying from a path or losing one's way, which can also extend to moral or spiritual deviation. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it frequently refers to the Israelites' tendency to stray from God's commandments and pursue idolatry or other sinful behaviors. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of wandering was deeply understood, both in the literal sense of nomadic life and in the spiritual sense of faithfulness to God. The Israelites' history is marked by periods of wandering, both physically in the wilderness and spiritually in their relationship with God. The use of "ta'a'" reflects the challenges of maintaining faithfulness and the consequences of deviation from divine guidance.
