Strong's Lexicon morrah: Fear, Reverence Original Word: מָרָּה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: morrah Pronunciation: mo-RAH Phonetic Spelling: (mor-raw') Definition: trouble Meaning: The noun מָרָּה (marah) generally refers to "rebellion" or "disobedience." It conveys a sense of defiance or opposition, often in the context of a relationship with authority, particularly divine authority. Word Origin: Derived from the root verb מָרָה (marah), which means "to be contentious, rebellious, or disobedient." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of rebellion or disobedience in the Hebrew Bible, as expressed by מָרָּה, finds its Greek counterpart in terms such as ἀπειθής (apeithēs • Strong's Greek 545) and ἀποστασία (apostasia • Strong's Greek 646), which convey similar meanings of disobedience and apostasy in the New Testament context. Usage: The term מָרָּה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe acts of rebellion or disobedience, especially against God or His commandments. It is often associated with the Israelites' rebellious actions during their wilderness journey and their failure to adhere to God's laws. Context: The Hebrew term מָרָּה (marah) is a significant concept in the Old Testament, encapsulating the idea of rebellion against divine authority. It is frequently used to describe the Israelites' behavior during their exodus from Egypt and their subsequent wanderings in the wilderness. This rebellion is characterized by a refusal to listen to God's commands and a tendency to challenge His authority, often resulting in divine judgment or punishment. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is illustrated in passages where the Israelites' rebellious nature is highlighted. For example, in Deuteronomy 9:7, Moses reminds the Israelites of their rebellious actions: "Remember this and never forget how you provoked the LORD your God in the wilderness. From the day you left the land of Egypt until you reached this place, you have been rebelling against the LORD." The concept of מָרָּה is not limited to the Israelites but extends to a broader theological understanding of human disobedience against God. It serves as a warning and a call to obedience, emphasizing the importance of faithfulness and submission to divine will.
