It can also imply failing or disappointing someone, as well as denying or disowning a truth or person. This term is often used in contexts where truthfulness and faithfulness are in question, highlighting the moral and ethical dimensions of honesty and integrity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, truthfulness was a highly valued virtue, deeply rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and His people. The act of lying or deception was not only a breach of interpersonal trust but also a violation of one's covenantal obligations to God. The Hebrew Scriptures frequently emphasize the importance of truth and integrity, reflecting the cultural and religious ethos of the time.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3584.htm">kachash</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>lying, leanness<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>leanness (1), lies (5).<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">כַּ֫חַשׁ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Job 16:8</sup> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>lying</b></font>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>leanness</b></font>;
