It conveys the action of removing or separating something by cutting. This term is used metaphorically in the Bible to describe the act of being cut off or removed from a position or state.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, shearing was a common agricultural practice, particularly with sheep. The act of shearing was not only practical but also held economic significance, as wool was a valuable commodity. The metaphorical use of "guz" to describe being cut off reflects the cultural understanding of separation and loss, which could be applied to social, spiritual, or physical contexts.<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 pass over or away<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>brought (1), gone (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> I.
