Strong's Lexicon rishah: Wickedness, evil, guilt Original Word: רִשְׁעָה Word Origin: Derived from the root רָשַׁע (rasha), which means "to be wicked" or "to act wickedly." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G93 (adikia): Injustice, unrighteousness - G4189 (poneria): Wickedness, evil Usage: The term "rishah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote wickedness or moral wrongness. It often refers to the state or condition of being morally corrupt or engaging in actions that are contrary to God's laws and righteousness. It is used to describe both individual and collective moral failings and is often associated with judgment and divine disapproval. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of "rishah" was deeply tied to the covenant relationship between God and His people. Wickedness was seen not just as a personal failing but as a breach of the covenant, which had communal implications. The Israelites were called to live according to God's laws, and deviation from these laws was considered "rishah," leading to social and spiritual consequences. Prophets often called out "rishah" as a reason for impending judgment, urging repentance and a return to righteousness.
