Strong's Lexicon morat: Razor Original Word: מוֹרָט Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: mowrat Pronunciation: mo-rat' Phonetic Spelling: (mo-rawt') Definition: obstinate, independent Meaning: The term מוֹרָט (morat) is used to describe a state of being obstinate or independent, often in a negative sense, implying a stubborn refusal to comply or submit. Word Origin: Derived from the root verb מָרַט (marat), which means "to be obstinate" or "to be independent." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for מוֹרָט (morat) in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of obstinacy or rebellion can be related to Greek terms such as ἀντιλέγω (antilegō • Strong's Greek 483), which means "to speak against" or "to oppose," and ἀπειθέω (apeitheō • Strong's Greek 544), meaning "to disobey" or "to be disobedient." These terms capture similar themes of resistance and defiance found in the Hebrew concept of מוֹרָט (morat). Usage: The word מוֹרָט (morat) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe individuals or groups who are characterized by a stubborn or rebellious spirit. It is often associated with a refusal to follow divine guidance or authority. Context: The Hebrew term מוֹרָט (morat) appears in the context of describing a rebellious or obstinate attitude, particularly in relation to divine commands or authority. This term is rooted in the verb מָרַט (marat), which conveys the idea of being obstinate or independent, often in defiance of expected norms or commands. In the biblical narrative, such a disposition is typically viewed negatively, as it represents a departure from the path of obedience and submission to God's will. The concept of obstinacy in the Hebrew Bible is frequently linked to the broader theme of rebellion against God. This rebellion is not merely a passive state but an active resistance to divine authority. The term מוֹרָט (morat) captures this essence of defiance, highlighting the tension between human willfulness and divine expectation. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to illustrate the consequences of such obstinacy, often leading to divine judgment or correction. The biblical narrative underscores the importance of humility and submission to God's will, contrasting the negative outcomes of obstinacy with the blessings of obedience.
