It conveys the idea of a deliberate act of taking life, whether in battle or as a form of execution. The word is used to describe both individual acts of murder and larger-scale slaughters.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the concept of "haregah" would have been understood within the context of the legal and moral codes given in the Torah. Killing was a serious matter, with specific laws governing acts of murder, manslaughter, and warfare. The Israelites were often engaged in battles as they settled in the Promised Land, and the term would have been relevant in describing these conflicts. Additionally, the sacrificial system involved the slaughter of animals, though a different Hebrew term is typically used for ritual sacrifices.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>fem. of <a href="/hebrew/2027.htm">hereg</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a slaughter<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>carnage (1), slaughter (4).<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">הֲרֵגָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>slaughter</b></font>;
