SIBI-P1 H5493-41
and he caused to turn aside
| Root | סור (s-w-r) |
| Core Meanings | turning aside, departure, removal, withdrawal, deviation |
| Semantic Range | to turn aside, depart, withdraw, remove, take away, avert, rebel, decline, be gone |
| Conceptual Significance | סור often marks a decisive turning—either physical removal or moral/spiritual departure. In covenantal contexts it can describe turning away from evil or, negatively, turning away from YHWH, highlighting the theological weight of direction and allegiance in Israel’s faith. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb from סור in Hiphil stem, wayyiqtol (vav-consecutive imperfect) 3rd person masculine singular; sequential past narrative form with causative force. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root סור carries the core idea of turning aside or departing. In the Hiphil wayyiqtol 3ms form, it expresses causation in past narrative sequence, thus "and he caused to turn aside," preserving both the causative stem and the third masculine singular subject. |
