Strong's Lexicon garas: To drive out, to expel, to cast out, to divorce Original Word: גָּרַס Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1544 (ἐκβάλλω, ekballo): To cast out, to drive out - G630 (ἀπολύω, apolyo): To release, to divorce Usage: The Hebrew verb "garas" primarily means to drive out or expel. It is often used in the context of removing someone or something from a place or position. This can include the expulsion of people from a land, the casting out of demons, or the act of divorce. The term conveys a forceful action, often with a sense of authority or judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of expulsion or driving out was significant both in legal and spiritual contexts. The Israelites were commanded to drive out the inhabitants of Canaan to avoid idolatry and maintain purity of worship (Numbers 33:52). Divorce, another context for "garas," was a legal action that had social and familial implications, reflecting the seriousness of covenant relationships.
