It is often used in the context of removing oneself from a path or course, whether physically, morally, or spiritually. The term can imply a change in direction or a deviation from a set path, often with a negative connotation of straying from righteousness or divine instruction.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of staying on the right path was deeply embedded in the religious and moral fabric of society. The Law, given by God, was seen as the path to righteousness and life. To "turn aside" from this path was to risk falling into sin and disfavor with God. The use of "yasur" in the Hebrew Bible often reflects this cultural understanding, emphasizing the importance of adherence to God's commandments and the dangers of deviation.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>the same as <a href="/hebrew/5493.htm">sur</a>, q.v.<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>they that depart <p>From <a href="/hebrew/5493.htm">cuwr</a>; departing -- they that depart <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/5493.htm">cuwr</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וְסוּרַי֙ וסורי vesuRai wə·sū·ray wəsūray<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/jeremiah/17-13.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Jeremiah 17:13</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/17.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">[יִסֹורַי כ] <b> (וְסוּרַי֙ </b> ק) בָּאָ֣רֶץ</span><br><a href="/kjvs/jeremiah/17.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> thee shall be ashamed, <span class="itali">[and] they that depart</span> from me<br><a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/17-13.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> forsake will be put <span class="itali">they that depart</span> earth will be written<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3249.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3249.htm">Strong's Hebrew 3249<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/vesurai_3249.htm">wə·sū·ray — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/3248.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="3248"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="3248" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/3250.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="3250"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="3250" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
