Strong's Lexicon sarah: Rebellion, defection, apostasy Original Word: סָרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root verb סוּר (sur), meaning "to turn aside" or "to depart." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G646 ἀποστασία (apostasia) - meaning "apostasy" or "falling away." - G3876 παρακοή (parakoē) - meaning "disobedience" or "hearing amiss." Usage: The Hebrew word "sarah" primarily denotes a sense of rebellion or turning away, often in a spiritual or moral context. It is used to describe actions or attitudes that deviate from a prescribed path, particularly in relation to God's commandments or covenant. The term conveys a strong sense of willful disobedience or apostasy, highlighting a deliberate choice to reject divine authority. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, adherence to the covenant with Yahweh was central to the community's identity and relationship with God. Rebellion against this covenant was seen as a grave sin, often leading to severe consequences. The concept of "sarah" would have been understood within the broader context of covenant faithfulness, where loyalty to God was paramount. The Israelites were repeatedly warned against turning away from God to follow other deities or to adopt practices contrary to the Law.
