It is associated with the idea of straying from God's commandments or engaging in behavior that is considered unfaithful or rebellious.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, adherence to the covenant with God was paramount. Deviating from this covenant, whether through idolatry, immorality, or other forms of disobedience, was seen as a serious offense. The concept of "going astray" was not only a personal failing but also a communal concern, as it could bring divine judgment upon the entire community. The term "Sotay" would have been understood within this context of covenant faithfulness and the consequences of straying from it.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Sotai (2).<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">סוֺטַי</font>, <font class="hebrew2">סֹטַיַ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font>;
