Berean Strong's Lexicon garash: To drive out, to expel, to cast out, to divorce Original Word: גָּרַשׁ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1544 (ἐκβάλλω, ekballō): To cast out, to drive out, often used in the New Testament for casting out demons. - G630 (ἀπολύω, apolyō): To release, to send away, used in contexts of divorce or releasing someone from a bond. Usage: The Hebrew verb "garash" primarily means to drive out or expel. It is used in various contexts, including the expulsion of people from a land, the casting out of demons, or the act of divorce. The term conveys a forceful removal or separation, often with a sense of urgency or necessity. 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 "garash," was a legal action that severed the marital relationship, reflecting the seriousness of covenantal commitments. The act of driving out also had spiritual implications, as seen in the expulsion of evil spirits, symbolizing the triumph of God's holiness over impurity.
