Strong's Lexicon mered: Rebellion, revolt Original Word: מֶרֶד Word Origin: Derived from the root verb מָרַד (marad), meaning "to rebel" or "to revolt." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G462 (anomia) - lawlessness, rebellion - G495 (anupotaktos) - insubordinate, rebellious Usage: The term "mered" refers to an act of rebellion or revolt, often against authority or established order. In the biblical context, it is used to describe defiance against God or divinely appointed leaders. It conveys a sense of insubordination and resistance to rightful authority. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, rebellion was a serious offense, both in the political and spiritual realms. The Israelites were expected to adhere to the covenant with God, and rebellion against this covenant was seen as a grave sin. The concept of rebellion also extended to political contexts, where revolts against kings or foreign rulers were not uncommon. Understanding "mered" within its cultural and historical setting highlights the gravity of turning away from divine or legitimate human authority.
