Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G654 (ἀποδοκιμάζω): To reject, disapprove • G683 (ἀπορρίπτω): To cast away, reject • G1544 (ἐκβάλλω): To cast out, drive out • G1587 (ἐκλείπω): To fail, cease • G2641 (καταλείπω): To leave, forsake • G3392 (μολύνω): To stain, defile These Greek terms reflect similar themes of rejection and abandonment found in the Hebrew concept of זָנַח, illustrating the continuity of these ideas across the biblical texts. Usage: The term זָנַח is used in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of rejection or abandonment. It often refers to God rejecting His people due to their disobedience or to people forsaking God or His commandments. Context: • Occurrences in the Hebrew Bible: The verb זָנַח appears in several passages, often in the context of divine judgment or human unfaithfulness. For example, in Hosea 4:6, it is used to describe God's rejection of the priests for their lack of knowledge: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you as My priests." • Theological Implications: The use of זָנַח highlights the covenantal relationship between God and His people. When Israel fails to uphold their part of the covenant, God responds by rejecting them, which serves as a call to repentance and a return to faithfulness. • Literary Context: The term is often found in prophetic literature, where it underscores the consequences of Israel's infidelity. It serves as a warning and a call to return to the covenantal obligations. • Related Concepts: The idea of rejection is closely tied to themes of judgment and restoration. While זָנַח signifies a breach in the relationship, it also implies the possibility of reconciliation if the people return to God.
