It is used to describe a willful defiance and a refusal to submit to divine commandments or guidance. This term often carries a negative connotation, highlighting the severity of turning away from God's will.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Israelite context, obedience to God was central to the covenant relationship between God and His people. Rebellion, therefore, was not merely a personal failing but a communal breach of the covenant. The Israelites were expected to follow God's laws as a sign of their faithfulness and devotion. Rebellion was seen as a serious offense that could lead to divine judgment and consequences for the entire community.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
