It conveys the idea of a violent and deliberate act of taking life, typically on a large scale. The word is often associated with divine judgment or the consequences of sin, reflecting the serious nature of such acts in the biblical narrative.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, acts of "hereg" were often seen in the context of warfare, where battles were fought to defend the nation or execute divine judgment against idolatrous nations. The concept of "hereg" also reflects the harsh realities of ancient Near Eastern life, where tribal conflicts and divine retribution were common. The Israelites understood these acts within the framework of covenantal faithfulness and divine justice.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2026.htm">harag</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a slaughter<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>killing (1), slaughter (3).<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">הֶ֫רֶג</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Isaiah 30:25</sup> <font size="+1"><b>slaughter</b></font> — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ה</font> absolute <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/24-11.htm">Proverbs 24:11</a> 2t. + <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/26-15.htm">Ezekiel 26:15</a> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> Co <font class="hebrew2">חֶרֶב</font>); construct <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/27-7.htm">Isaiah 27:7</a> — of Jews' slaughter of their enemies <a href="/interlinear/esther/9-5.htm">Esther 9:5</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">אַבְדָֿ֑ן</font>); <font class="hebrew2">מָטִים לַהֶרֶג</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/24-11.htm">Proverbs 24:11</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">לְקֻחִים לַמָּ֑וֶת</font>); <font class="hebrew2">כְּהֶרֶג חֲרוּגָיו הֹרָ֑ג</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/27-7.htm">Isaiah 27:7</a>; <font class="hebrew2">ביום הֶרֶג רַב</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/30-25.htm">Isaiah 30:25</a> (compare <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">אֶתשֶֿׁבֶר עַמּוֺ ביום חֲבשׁ י</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/30-26.htm">Isaiah 30:26</a>). <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/26-15.htm">Ezekiel 26:15</a> read with <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> Co above <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>be slain, slaughter <p>From <a href="/hebrew/2026.htm">harag</a>; slaughter -- be slain, slaughter. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/2026.htm">harag</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>הֶ֙רֶג֙ הֶ֣רֶג הרג וְהֶ֖רֶג והרג כְּהֶ֥רֶג כהרג לַ֝הֶ֗רֶג להרג he·reḡ Hereg hereḡ kə·he·reḡ keHereg kəhereḡ la·he·reḡ laHereg lahereḡ veHereg wə·he·reḡ wəhereḡ<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/esther/9-5.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Esther 9:5</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/esther/9.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">מַכַּת־ חֶ֥רֶב <b> וְהֶ֖רֶג </b> וְאַבְדָ֑ן וַיַּֽעֲשׂ֥וּ</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/esther/9.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> with the sword, <span class="itali">killing</span> and destroying;<br><a href="/kjvs/esther/9.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> of the sword, <span class="itali">and slaughter,</span> and destruction,<br><a href="/interlinear/esther/9-5.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the stroke the sword <span class="itali">killing</span> and destroying did<p><b><a href="/text/proverbs/24-11.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Proverbs 24:11</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/proverbs/24.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">לַמָּ֑וֶת וּמָטִ֥ים <b> לַ֝הֶ֗רֶג </b> אִם־ תַּחְשֽׂוֹךְ׃</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/proverbs/24.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> And those who are staggering <span class="itali">to slaughter,</span> Oh<br><a href="/kjvs/proverbs/24.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> and [those that are] ready <span class="itali">to be slain;</span><br><a href="/interlinear/proverbs/24-11.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> to death are staggering <span class="itali">to slaughter</span> Oh hold<p><b><a href="/text/isaiah/27-7.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Isaiah 27:7</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/27.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">הִכָּ֑הוּ אִם־ <b> כְּהֶ֥רֶג </b> הֲרֻגָ֖יו הֹרָֽג׃</span><br><a href="/kjvs/isaiah/27.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> him?
