These Greek terms are often used in the New Testament to describe similar concepts of wandering or being led astray, particularly in a spiritual or doctrinal context.

Usage: The verb טָעָה (ta'ah) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of wandering, going astray, or being led astray. It can refer to physical wandering, such as in a desert, or metaphorical wandering, such as straying from the path of righteousness or truth.

Context: The Hebrew verb טָעָה (ta'ah) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often conveying the idea of straying or deviating from a set path. This term is used both in literal and figurative senses. In a literal sense, it can describe the physical act of wandering, as seen in the experiences of the Israelites in the wilderness. For example, in the context of the Israelites' journey, it can denote their physical wandering in the desert due to disobedience or lack of direction.

Figuratively, טָעָה (ta'ah) is frequently used to describe spiritual or moral deviation. It is often associated with the idea of being led astray by false teachings or idols, as well as the consequences of such actions. This usage underscores the importance of adhering to divine guidance and the dangers of deviating from God's commandments.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used in passages that highlight the consequences of straying from God's path. For instance, in Isaiah 53:6, it is written, "We all like sheep have gone astray; each one has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all." This verse uses the imagery of sheep wandering to illustrate humanity's tendency to deviate from God's will.
