It is often used in a metaphorical sense to describe a spiritual or moral backsliding, where an individual or group turns away from a previously held commitment or standard, particularly in relation to faithfulness to God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Hebrew context, faithfulness to God was central to the covenant relationship between God and Israel. The concept of "sug" would have been understood as a serious breach of this covenant, akin to betrayal or apostasy. The Israelites were often warned by prophets against turning back from following God, as it would lead to dire consequences both spiritually and materially.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to fence about<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>carefully fence (1), fenced about (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> II.
