repentance

Hebrew teshuvah (repentance) and the imperative shuv (repent, turn) are the same root — repentance is the noun describing what the verbal command 'repent' calls one to do. Both describe the same movement of return.

Hebrew teshuvah (repentance) and Greek metanoia (repentance, change of mind) are theological cognates — both describe the same inner reorientation toward God, one in spatial metaphor (return), one in cognitive metaphor (turn of mind).
