It is used in the Old Testament to describe the actions of individuals or groups who resist God's commandments or the leadership established by Him. The term can also imply a sense of bitterness or obstinacy in one's rebellion.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, obedience to God and adherence to His laws were central to the covenant relationship between God and His people. Rebellion, therefore, was not merely a personal failing but a communal and spiritual breach that could have severe consequences. The concept of rebellion was understood within the framework of covenant loyalty, where disobedience was seen as a direct affront to God's authority and a disruption of the divine order.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps to flap (the wings)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>lifts (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.
