Word Origin: A primitive root

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that corresponds to the Hebrew יָגָה (yāgāh). However, Greek terms that convey similar meanings of rejection or separation include ἀποβάλλω (apoballō • to throw away, reject) and ἀπωθέω (apōtheō • to push away, repel). These Greek terms capture the essence of exclusion and dismissal found in the Hebrew יָגָה.

Usage: The term יָגָה (yāgāh) is used in the context of pushing away or rejecting, often implying a forceful or deliberate action of separation or exclusion.

Context: The Hebrew verb יָגָה (yāgāh) is a primitive root that conveys the action of pushing away or rejecting. This term is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, but when it appears, it often carries a connotation of intentional exclusion or dismissal. The act of pushing away can be both physical and metaphorical, indicating a separation from a person, group, or idea. In the context of the ancient Near Eastern culture, such actions could have significant social and religious implications, often reflecting a breach in relationship or covenant. The usage of יָגָה (yāgāh) in the biblical text underscores the seriousness of rejection, whether it be by God or by individuals within the community.
