Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament for similar concepts is ἐξουθενέω (exoutheneō), Strong's Greek 1848, meaning "to despise" or "to treat with contempt."

Usage: The term "nemibzah" is used to describe something or someone that is held in low regard, considered worthless, or treated with disdain. It conveys a strong sense of rejection and scorn, often in a moral or spiritual context.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, being "despised" or "contemptible" was a significant social stigma. Honor and shame were central to the cultural values of the time, and to be considered "nemibzah" was to be marginalized or rejected by the community. This term often reflects the societal and religious dynamics where individuals or groups were judged based on their adherence to covenantal laws and moral standards.
