1624. ektrepó
Strong's Lexicon
ektrepó: To turn aside, to deviate, to avoid

Original Word: ἐκτρέπω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: ektrepó
Pronunciation: ek-trep'-o
Phonetic Spelling: (ek-trep'-o)
Definition: To turn aside, to deviate, to avoid
Meaning: (lit: I turn out from); mid. and pass: I turn aside (from the right road), wander, forsake, and with an object: I remove from myself, shun, avoid.

Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐκ" (ek, meaning "out of") and the verb "τρέπω" (trepo, meaning "to turn").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "ektrepó," the concept of turning aside or straying is often expressed in the Hebrew Bible with words like "שׂוּר" (sur, Strong's H5493), meaning to turn aside or depart.

Usage: The verb "ektrepó" is used in the New Testament to describe the action of turning away or deviating from a path or course. It can imply a physical turning aside, but more often it is used metaphorically to describe a moral or spiritual deviation. This can include turning away from truth, righteousness, or sound doctrine.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "turning aside" was often associated with straying from a prescribed path, whether in a literal journey or in the pursuit of moral and ethical standards. The New Testament writers, influenced by Jewish thought, used this term to emphasize the importance of adhering to the teachings of Christ and the apostles, warning against the dangers of false teachings and moral compromise.
