I'm beginning to wonder if this verb is similar to parakaleo in Greek, whereHi Karl,
the "calling to one's side" is often used for the derivative purposes of
consoling, upbraiding, instructing, encouraging, etc. and the best way to
translate it is not for the primary action of calling aside, rather the
derivative meanings? So here the primary meaning refers to the action of
turning back, with the derivative understandings of turning back from
mourning (consolation), turning back from an action (repent), turning back
from approval (regret), and so forth?
