Berean Strong's Lexicon bagad: To act treacherously, to deal deceitfully, to betray Original Word: בָּגַד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "bagad," the concept of betrayal or unfaithfulness can be found in Greek terms such as "προδίδωμι" (prodidōmi - to betray) and "ἀπιστία" (apistia - unbelief, unfaithfulness). Usage: The Hebrew verb "bagad" primarily conveys the idea of acting treacherously or deceitfully. It is often used in contexts where there is a breach of trust or faithfulness, whether in personal relationships, national alliances, or in the covenant relationship between God and His people. The term can imply betrayal, unfaithfulness, or deceitful dealings. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, loyalty and faithfulness were highly valued in both personal and communal relationships. Betrayal or treachery was seen as a serious offense, often leading to social and religious consequences. In the biblical narrative, Israel's relationship with God is frequently depicted as a covenant, akin to a marriage, where faithfulness is paramount. The use of "bagad" in the Hebrew Bible often highlights the gravity of Israel's unfaithfulness to God, likening it to adultery or betrayal.
