In the Hebrew Bible, it is often used to describe a lack of sight, either literal or spiritual. It can denote a physical condition where one is unable to see, or it can symbolize a lack of understanding or insight, particularly in a spiritual or moral sense.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, blindness was often seen as a significant physical ailment that could lead to social and economic challenges. The blind were often marginalized and dependent on others for support. However, the Hebrew Scriptures also emphasize compassion and justice for the blind, as seen in laws that protect them from being led astray (Leviticus 19:14). Spiritually, blindness is used metaphorically to describe a lack of perception or understanding of God's will and truth.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">עִוָּרוֺן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>blindness</b></font>;
