It is used to describe behaviors or words that are intended to ridicule or deceive others. In the biblical context, it often carries a negative connotation, associated with actions that are contrary to the righteous and truthful living expected of God's people.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, as in many ancient cultures, honor and shame were significant social values. Mockery and deceit were seen as behaviors that could bring shame not only to individuals but also to families and communities. The Hebrew Scriptures frequently warn against deceit and mockery, emphasizing the importance of truthfulness and integrity. Prophets and wisdom literature often highlight the destructive nature of deceit and the moral decay it represents.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2048.htm">hathal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>deceptions<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>illusions (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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>deceit <p>From <a href="/hebrew/2048.htm">hathal</a>; a delusion -- deceit. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/2048.htm">hathal</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>חֲז֖וּ חזו chaZu ḥă·zū ḥăzū<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/isaiah/30-10.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Isaiah 30:10</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/30.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">לָ֣נוּ חֲלָק֔וֹת <b> חֲז֖וּ </b> מַהֲתַלּֽוֹת׃ </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/isaiah/30.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> Prophesy <span class="itali">illusions.</span><br><a href="/kjvs/isaiah/30.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> prophesy <span class="itali">deceits:</span><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/30-10.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> Speak pleasant <span class="itali">illusions</span> Prophesy<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4123.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4123.htm">Strong's Hebrew 4123<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/chazu_4123.htm">ḥă·zū — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/4122.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="4122"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="4122" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/4124.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="4124"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="4124" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
