It often conveys a sense of legal or verbal dispute, where parties are in conflict or opposition. This term can be used in both personal and communal contexts, reflecting disputes between individuals or groups.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, disputes and contentions were common, often requiring resolution through legal or communal means. The concept of "yarib" reflects the importance of justice and the resolution of conflicts within the community. The Israelites were governed by laws that emphasized fairness and righteousness, and disputes were often settled at the city gates by elders or judges.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7378.htm">rib</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>opponent, adversary<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>contend (1), one who contends (1), opponents (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
