These Greek terms, while not direct translations, relate to the broader biblical themes of deceit and integrity, providing a New Testament perspective on the concept of fraud as seen in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: This term is used in the context of deceitful actions or fraudulent behavior, often in a moral or ethical sense. Context: תָּרְמָה (tormah) appears in the Hebrew Bible as a term denoting deceit or fraudulent behavior. It is used to describe actions that are intentionally misleading or dishonest. The concept of fraud in the biblical context is often associated with moral corruption and is condemned as contrary to the righteous behavior expected by God. The term is used in various passages to highlight the contrast between the righteous and the wicked, emphasizing the importance of integrity and truthfulness in one's conduct. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated in contexts that underscore the moral implications of deceit. For example, in Psalms and Proverbs, deceit is often juxtaposed with truth and righteousness, serving as a warning against engaging in fraudulent behavior. The biblical narrative consistently portrays fraud as an offense against both God and fellow humans, reflecting the broader biblical theme of justice and ethical living.
