It is used to describe actions or characteristics that involve cleverness or trickery, sometimes in a morally questionable manner.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, wisdom and shrewdness were highly valued traits, often associated with survival and success. However, the Hebrew Scriptures often draw a distinction between godly wisdom and worldly cunning. The term "aram" reflects this tension, as it can describe both the positive attribute of prudence and the negative trait of deceitfulness.<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 be heaped up<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>piled (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> I.
