It denotes a serious offense in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting a deep disrespect or irreverence towards the divine. The usage of "gidduph" underscores the gravity of words spoken against God or sacred matters, highlighting the importance of reverence and respect in speech.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, blasphemy was considered a grave sin, as it directly violated the sanctity of God's name and character. The cultural context of the Hebrew Bible places a strong emphasis on the power of words and the importance of maintaining the holiness of God's name. The Israelites were commanded to uphold the sanctity of God's name, and blasphemy was seen as a direct challenge to God's authority and holiness. This reflects the broader Ancient Near Eastern understanding of the divine, where the spoken word held significant power and influence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1442.htm">gadaph</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>revilings, reviling words<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>revilement (1), revilings (2).<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">גִּדּוּפִים</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine plural</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>revilings, reviling words</b></font> — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ג</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/43-28.htm">Isaiah 43:28</a>;
