Berean Strong's Lexicon razam: To plot, to scheme, to devise Original Word: רָזַם Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is "ἐπιβουλεύω" (epibouleuō), which also means to plot or scheme. Usage: The Hebrew verb "razam" conveys the idea of plotting or scheming, often with a negative connotation. It implies a deliberate and often secretive plan, typically for an evil or harmful purpose. This term is used to describe the actions of individuals or groups who conspire against others, often in opposition to God's will or righteous living. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, as in many ancient cultures, the act of plotting or scheming was seen as a serious moral failing, especially when it involved deceit or betrayal. The Hebrew Scriptures frequently warn against such behavior, emphasizing the importance of integrity and trustworthiness. The cultural context of the Bible often highlights the contrast between the righteous, who trust in God, and the wicked, who rely on their own cunning plans.
