a-stra (, taah, to wander, to err; , planaomai, to go astray, each carrying the idea of being lost): With one exception (Exo 23:4 his ass going astray) used metaphorically of moral wandering, going astray in paths of error and sin, like sheep going astray (1Pe 2:25 the King James Version; Isa 53:6; Psa 119:176). This wandering may be due (1) to inherent evil (Psa 58:3); (2) to false shepherds (Jer 50:6); contrast the beautiful and classic passage, Mat 18:12, Mat 18:13, the Son of man (Mat 18:12) seeketh that which is gone astray. No word more vividly portrays sin as a straying, a separation from God. To be morally astray is to be lost.<\/p>\n
* For ASTRAY see ERR <\/p>\n
Psa 58:3 (a) The tendency to commit sin and to deceive which is inherent in the human heart from birth, this is to go “astray” from GOD.<\/p>\n
Psa 119:176 (a) Here we see the sinner’s path which is not along the path of GOD’s righteousness nor according to His commandments.<\/p>\n
Jer 50:6 (a) This represents the path of wrong teaching into which people are led by false shepherds.<\/p>\n
