It often carries a negative connotation, implying an attempt to provoke or challenge, especially in a way that is inappropriate or beyond what is reasonable. In a biblical context, it is frequently used to describe the testing of God by humans, which is considered an act of disbelief or rebellion.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, testing or proving something was a common practice, whether it be in the context of philosophy, rhetoric, or daily life. However, the concept of testing God was particularly significant in Jewish thought, where it was seen as an act of faithlessness. The Israelites' history, as recorded in the Old Testament, includes several instances where they "tested" God, often leading to divine displeasure.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1598</b> <i>ekpeirázō</i> (from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">1537</a> <i>/ek</i>, "<i>out from</i> and <i>to</i>" and <a href="/greek/3985.htm">3985</a> <i>/peirázō</i>, "tempt") – properly, test <i>out</i>, i.e. with the <i>outcome</i> of testing to an <i>extreme</i> (unwarranted) degree; "hyper-test," going to improper measures which exceed appropriate boundaries and pushing the one tested beyond reasonable (proper) limits.</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">ek</a> and <a href="/greek/3985.htm">peirazó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to test thoroughly, tempt<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>put (2), put...to the test (1), test (2), try (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1598: ἐκπειράζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐκπειράζω</span></span>; future <span class="greek2">ἐκπειράσω</span>; (1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐξεπείρασα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/10-9.htm">1 Corinthians 10:9</a>b <span class="manuref">L</span> marginal reading <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> marginal reading); a word wholly biblical (put by <span class="abbreviation">Philo</span> (de congr. erud. grat. § 30, Mang. 1:543) for the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span>'s <span class="greek2">πειράζω</span> in quoting <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/8-2.htm">Deuteronomy 8:2</a>); <span class="accented">to prove, test, thoroughly</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
