It conveys the idea of a downfall or overthrow, typically of a city, nation, or individual who has turned away from God's commandments.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the concept of "mappeleth" was closely tied to the covenant relationship between God and His people. The Israelites understood that obedience to God's laws would bring blessings, while disobedience would lead to ruin and destruction. This understanding was rooted in the Deuteronomic code, which emphasized blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience (Deuteronomy 28). The imagery of "mappeleth" would have been a powerful reminder of the consequences of turning away from God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
