Rootסור (s-w-r)
Core Meaningsturning aside, departing, removing, withdrawing, deviating
Semantic Rangeto turn aside from a path, to depart, to withdraw, to remove, to cease, to avoid, to deviate morally or spiritually
Conceptual Significanceסור often describes both physical departure and moral deviation, especially turning away from covenantal obedience. In covenant contexts, it warns against straying from YHWH’s commandments, highlighting the biblical theme of steadfastness versus apostasy.
Morphological NotesQal imperfect (yiqtol) 2nd person masculine plural from סור. The Qal stem expresses the basic action "to turn aside, depart." The imperfect form can indicate future, habitual, or modal nuance depending on context.
Rendering RationaleThe root סור conveys the idea of turning aside or departing from a path or position. The form is Qal imperfect, second person masculine plural, so the rendering reflects a simple active action (“will turn aside”) addressed specifically to a masculine plural group (“you men”).
