It often refers to moral wrongs or ethical violations, emphasizing the deviation from what is considered just and right according to God's standards. In the biblical context, it is associated with behaviors and actions that are contrary to the divine law and righteousness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, justice and righteousness were foundational to the community's relationship with God and each other. The concept of "avval" would have been understood as a serious breach of covenantal obligations, both in terms of personal conduct and communal justice. The Hebrew Scriptures frequently address issues of justice, emphasizing God's desire for His people to live in a way that reflects His character.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">עַוָּל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>unjust, unrighteous one</b></font>; — especially of oppressive ruler <a href="/interlinear/zephaniah/3-5.htm">Zephaniah 3:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/job/18-18.htm">Job 18:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/job/27-7.htm">Job 27:7</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">רָשָׁע</font>), <a href="/interlinear/job/29-17.htm">Job 29:17</a>; <a href="/interlinear/job/31-3.htm">Job 31:3</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">מֹּעֲלֵי אָ֑וֶן</font>); probably also <a href="/interlinear/job/16-11.htm">Job 16:11</a> (for <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ0</font> <font class="hebrew2">עֲוִיל</font>, so Di; "" <font class="hebrew2">רְשָׁעִים</font>). <p>I.
