Strong's Lexicon teshubah: Return, repentance, answer Original Word: תְּשׁוּבָה Word Origin: Derived from the root שׁוּב (shuv), meaning "to return" or "to turn back." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3341 (μετάνοια, metanoia) - Repentance, a change of mind - G1994 (ἐπιστρέφω, epistrepho) - To turn, to return Usage: The Hebrew word "teshubah" primarily denotes the concept of returning or turning back, often in the context of repentance. It signifies a change of mind and heart, a turning away from sin and a return to God. In the Hebrew Bible, it is frequently used to describe the act of repentance, where individuals or the nation of Israel turn back to God after a period of disobedience or idolatry. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of repentance was deeply embedded in the covenant relationship between God and His people. The Law and the Prophets consistently called the Israelites to return to God, emphasizing that repentance was not merely an emotional response but a decisive action to realign one's life with God's will. The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) was a significant time for national repentance and seeking God's forgiveness.
