Strong's Lexicon

ekrizoó: To uproot, to root out

Original Word: ἐκριζόω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: ekrizoó
Pronunciation: ek-rid-ZO-o
Phonetic Spelling: (ek-rid-zo'-o)
Definition: To uproot, to root out
Meaning: I root out, pluck up by the roots.

Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἐκ (ek, meaning "out of") and ῥίζα (rhiza, meaning "root").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of uprooting in the Hebrew Bible is often expressed with the verb עָקַר (akar), which also means to pluck up or root out. This term is used in passages like Jeremiah 1:10, where God appoints Jeremiah to "uproot and tear down."

Usage: The verb ἐκριζόω is used in the New Testament to describe the action of uprooting or removing something from its foundation. It is often used metaphorically to describe the removal of people or ideas that are not in alignment with God's will or purpose. The term implies a complete and thorough removal, leaving no trace behind.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the agrarian society of the ancient Near East, the concept of uprooting was well understood. Farmers would uproot weeds or plants that were not beneficial to their crops. This imagery is used in the Bible to convey the idea of divine judgment or purification, where God removes what is not fruitful or righteous. The metaphor of uprooting would resonate with a first-century audience familiar with agricultural practices.
