Strong's Lexicon nathash: To uproot, to pull up, to tear away, to pluck out Original Word: נָתַשׁ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "nathash" is ἐκριζόω (ekrizoō), which also means to uproot or pluck out. Usage: The Hebrew verb "nathash" primarily means to uproot or pull out, often used in the context of removing something from its place. It conveys a sense of forceful removal or displacement, whether it be plants, people, or nations. The term can also imply a divine action where God is the one doing the uprooting, often as a form of judgment or correction. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient agrarian societies, the imagery of uprooting was powerful and vivid. It symbolized the complete removal of a plant from the soil, rendering it unable to grow again. This metaphor was extended to describe God's actions in history, particularly in relation to the nations and peoples who opposed His will. The act of uprooting was often associated with divine judgment, reflecting the belief that God had the authority to establish and remove kingdoms according to His purposes.
