Turn aside!

Rootסור (s-w-r)
Core Meaningsturning aside, departing, removing, withdrawing, deviation
Semantic Rangeto turn aside, depart, withdraw, remove, take away, cease, avoid, reject, rebel, be gone
Conceptual Significanceסור frequently marks moral and covenantal movement—either turning away from evil or departing from YHWH. It captures the biblical concept of directional faithfulness: righteousness is remaining on the path, while sin is turning aside from it.
Morphological NotesQal imperative, 2nd person masculine singular from the primitive root סור. The Qal stem expresses simple action; the imperative gives a direct command to a male addressee.
Rendering RationaleThe root סור conveys the act of turning aside or departing from a path, position, or course. The morphology HVqv2ms identifies a Qal imperative masculine singular, so the rendering is a direct command addressed to one male individual: "Turn aside!" This preserves both the core sense of directional movement and the grammatical force of the form.
