It is used in the context of plants and trees, describing the process of taking root or being uprooted. Metaphorically, it can also refer to establishing or removing something firmly, such as ideas, beliefs, or people.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of life, and the imagery of plants and trees was commonly used to convey spiritual truths. The process of taking root was essential for the growth and stability of plants, symbolizing strength, stability, and endurance. Conversely, being uprooted symbolized destruction, judgment, or removal from a place of security.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>denominative verb from <a href="/hebrew/8328.htm">shoresh</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to deal with the roots<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>take root (1), taken root (2), taking root (1), took (1), uproot (2), uprooted (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">שָׁרַשׁ</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb denominative Pi`el</b></font> = <font size="+1"><b>deal with the roots</b></font>; — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <em>root up, out : Perfect</em>3masculine singular suffix consecutive <font class="hebrew2">וְשֵׁרֶשְׁךָ</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/52-7.htm">Psalm 52:7</a> <em>he shall root thee up</em> from (<font class="hebrew2">מִן</font>) the land of the living; of fire <em>(burn) roots, root : Imperfect</em>3feminine singular <font class="hebrew2">תְּשָׁרֵשׁ בְּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/31-12.htm">Job 31:12</a> fore (figurative) <em>roots at</em> all my increase. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Pu`al</b></font> <em>Imperfect</em>3masculine plural <font class="hebrew2">יְשֹׁרָשׁוּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/31-8.htm">Job 31:8</a> <em>be rooted up</em> (of produce). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2.
