SHOOV

to turn, to return, to repent

Where it comes from

The main Hebrew word for repentance, and it simply means turning round and going back. No grovelling is implied, only direction.

Joel 2:13

Rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger.
