In the biblical context, it typically refers to rebellion against God or divinely appointed leaders. The concept of rebellion is significant in the Hebrew Bible, as it often leads to divine judgment or consequences.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, rebellion was not only a political act but also a spiritual one. The Israelites were bound by covenant to God, and rebellion against His commandments or His chosen leaders was seen as a breach of this covenant. The historical context of rebellion often involved foreign powers or internal dissent, reflecting the turbulent political landscape of the ancient Near East.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) from a root corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/4775.htm">marad</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>rebellion<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>rebellion (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> <font class="hebrew2">מְרַד</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>rebellion</b></font> (see Biblical Hebrew); — absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">מ</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezra/4-19.htm">Ezra 4:19</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>rebellion <p>(Aramaic) from a root corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/4775.htm">marad</a>; rebellion -- rebellion. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/4775.htm">marad</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וּמְרַ֥ד ומרד ū·mə·raḏ umeRad ūməraḏ<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/ezra/4-19.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezra 4:19</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/4.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">מַלְכִ֖ין מִֽתְנַשְּׂאָ֑ה <b> וּמְרַ֥ד </b> וְאֶשְׁתַּדּ֖וּר מִתְעֲבֶד־</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezra/4.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> days, <span class="itali">that rebellion</span> and revolt<br><a href="/kjvs/ezra/4.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> kings, <span class="itali">and [that] rebellion</span> and sedition<br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/4-19.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the kings has risen <span class="itali">rebellion</span> and revolt have been made<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4776.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4776.htm">Strong's Hebrew 4776<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/umerad_4776.htm">ū·mə·raḏ — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/4775.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="4775"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="4775" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/4777.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="4777"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="4777" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
