Strong's Lexicon planaó: To lead astray, to deceive, to cause to wander Original Word: πλανάω Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word πλάνη (planē), meaning "a wandering" or "a straying." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with deception or leading astray is תָּעָה (ta'ah - Strong's H8582), which means to err, wander, or go astray. Usage: The verb "planaó" primarily means to lead someone astray or to deceive. It is often used in the New Testament to describe spiritual or moral deception, where individuals or groups are led away from the truth of God’s Word. This term can also imply a wandering from the correct path, both physically and metaphorically, indicating a departure from the truth or righteousness. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of being led astray was often associated with false teachings and philosophies that deviated from accepted truths. In the context of the New Testament, "planaó" is frequently used to warn against false prophets, teachers, and deceptive practices that could lead believers away from the teachings of Jesus Christ. The early Christian community was particularly vigilant against such deceptions, as they sought to preserve the purity of the Gospel message amidst a diverse and often hostile cultural environment. HELPS Word-studies 4105 planáō – properly, go astray, get off-course; to deviate from the correct path (circuit, course), roaming into error, wandering; (passive) be misled.
