4830. marith
Berean Strong's Lexicon
marith: Rebellion, defiance

Original Word: מָרִית
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: marith
Pronunciation: mah-REETH
Phonetic Spelling: (meer-eeth')
Definition: Rebellion, defiance
Meaning: pasturage, a flock

Word Origin: Derived from the root מָרָה (marah), meaning "to be rebellious" or "to resist."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with rebellion is ἀποστασία (apostasia), Strong's Greek 646, which means "apostasy" or "falling away."

Usage: The term "marith" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote an act or state of rebellion or defiance, particularly against God or His commandments. It conveys a sense of willful disobedience and opposition to divine authority.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, obedience to God's laws was paramount, and rebellion was seen as a grave sin with serious consequences. The concept of rebellion was not only a personal failing but also a communal threat, as it could lead to divine judgment upon the entire nation. The Israelites' covenant relationship with God required adherence to His commandments, and rebellion was a breach of this covenant.
