Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, related concepts can be found in terms like ἀδικία (adikia - G93), meaning "injustice" or "unrighteousness." Usage: The term "ashuqim" refers to instances or conditions of oppression, where individuals or groups are subjected to unjust treatment or exploitation. It is often used in the context of social injustice, highlighting the suffering of those who are wronged by others in positions of power. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, as in many ancient cultures, social justice was a significant concern. The Hebrew Bible frequently addresses issues of oppression, particularly in the context of the poor, widows, orphans, and foreigners—groups that were often vulnerable to exploitation. The prophets and wisdom literature emphasize God's concern for justice and righteousness, calling for the protection of the oppressed and the punishment of oppressors.
