This term is used in passages like Jeremiah 1:10, where God appoints Jeremiah to "uproot and tear down."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The verb ἐκριζόω is used in the New Testament to describe the action of uprooting or removing something from its foundation. It is often used metaphorically to describe the removal of people or ideas that are not in alignment with God's will or purpose. The term implies a complete and thorough removal, leaving no trace behind.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the agrarian society of the ancient Near East, the concept of uprooting was well understood. Farmers would uproot weeds or plants that were not beneficial to their crops. This imagery is used in the Bible to convey the idea of divine judgment or purification, where God removes what is not fruitful or righteous. The metaphor of uprooting would resonate with a first-century audience familiar with agricultural practices.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">ek</a> and <a href="/greek/4492.htm">rhizoó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to uproot<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>uproot (1), uprooted (3).<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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1610: ἐκριζόω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐκριζόω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐκρίζω</span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐξεριζωσα</span>; passive, 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐξεριζωθην</span>; 1 future <span class="greek2">ἐκριζωθήσομαι</span>; <span class="accented">to root out, pluck up by the roots</span>: <span class="greek2">τί</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/13-29.htm">Matthew 13:29</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/15-13.htm">Matthew 15:13</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/17-6.htm">Luke 17:6</a>; <a href="/interlinear/jude/1-12.htm">Jude 1:12</a>.
