It is used in the context of speaking against or showing contempt for God, His name, or His works. This term conveys a strong sense of disrespect and irreverence, often associated with verbal expressions that dishonor the divine.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, reverence for God and His name was of utmost importance. The act of blasphemy, or "gadaph," was considered a grave sin, as it directly violated the sanctity of God's holiness. The Israelites were commanded to honor God's name and were warned against any form of speech that would defame or disrespect Him. This reflects the broader Ancient Near Eastern understanding of the power of words and the sacredness of divine names.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
