It is used in contexts where individuals are ridiculed or led astray through deceitful means. The term can imply a sense of scorn or derision, often highlighting the moral or ethical shortcomings of those who engage in such behavior.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, as in many ancient societies, honor and reputation were of utmost importance. Mocking or deceiving someone could lead to significant social consequences. The act of mocking was not only a personal affront but could also be seen as a challenge to one's social standing or divine favor. Deception, on the other hand, was often associated with cunning and was sometimes used in warfare or political maneuvering.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to deceive, mock<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>mocked (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">הָתַל</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> — only <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Pi`el</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>deceive, mock</b></font>, <em>Imperfect</em> <font class="hebrew2">וַיְהַתֵּל בָּהֶם</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/18-27.htm">1 Kings 18:27</a> (secondary formation from <font class="hebrew2">תלל</font> Hiph`il, q. v.; compare Thes Ol<sup>§ 257 f.</sup> near the end Sta<sup>§ 145 e</sup>; otherwise Kö<sup>i. 352</sup>; see further below <font class="hebrew2">תלל</font>). <p> II.
