'Root' in the Bible

The hand of Yahweh was against them to root them out from the midst of the camp until they perished completely.

so that {there is not} among you a man or a woman or a clan or a tribe {whose heart} turns {today} from [being] with Yahweh our God to go to serve the gods of these nations, so that there is not among you a root sprouting poison and wormwood.
