Team definition
Middle of a compound that means to thrust away. Used with a personal object, it means to push someone away from oneself, to refuse, or to reject. In Rom 11:1–2 the verb takes τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ as its object in the question whether God has rejected his people, and again in the statement that he has not. The same verb is used of rejecting persons in Acts 7:27, 39; 13:46 and 1 Tim 1:19.
