ekrizoo denotes removing a plant or tree from its place, whether warned against, commanded, predicted, or pictured as complete ruin.

The attested use consistently concerns a plant or tree being removed from where it stands: Matthew 13:29 warns against doing so to grain while gathering weeds, Matthew 15:13 predicts it for an unplanted plant, Luke 17:6 voices it as a command to a mulberry tree, and Jude 1:12 applies the image to trees described as unfruitful and twice dead.

1. Removal of a plant or tree from its place · dominant

   In Matthew 13:29, the active aorist subjunctive occurs in the warning that collecting weeds might also affect the grain; the APB renders the clause "you uproot the grain together with them." The passive forms depict a tree or plant undergoing this removal: in Matthew 15:13 the APB renders "will be uprooted," in Luke 17:6 it gives the command "Be uprooted," and in Jude 1:12 it describes unfruitful, twice-dead trees as "uprooted."

   Matthew 13:29Matthew 15:13Luke 17:6Jude 1:12

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all four verses, the APB uses "uprooted" or "uproot" for the relevant clauses, including a command, a prediction, a warning, and the description of trees. These renderings confirm the clauses' shared imagery rather than establish a separate nuance.
