It is often used metaphorically in the Bible to describe moral or spiritual impurity, representing the undesirable elements that need to be removed to achieve purity and holiness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient metallurgy, refining metals such as silver and gold was a common practice. The process involved heating the metal to a high temperature to separate the pure metal from the dross or impurities. This imagery was well understood in the ancient Near East and is frequently used in the Bible to illustrate the process of purification and refinement that God desires for His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5472.htm">sug</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a moving back or away, dross<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>dross (8), gone aside (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">סִיג</font>, <font class="hebrew2">שִׂיג</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>a moving back or away</b></font>; <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>dross</b></font> (<em>what is removed</em> from metal); — absolute<font class="hebrew2">סִיג</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/22-18.htm">Ezekiel 22:18</a> Qr (<font class="hebrew2">סוג</font> Kt), <font class="hebrew2">שִׂיג</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/18-27.htm">1 Kings 18:27</a> <font size="+1">**</font>omitted <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font>L, dittograph for <font class="hebrew2">שִׂיחַ</font> Klo Bur.
