It is used to describe an attitude of scorn or disrespect towards someone or something considered unworthy or insignificant. This term often implies a rejection of authority, wisdom, or value, and is frequently used in contexts where individuals or groups dismiss God's commands, wisdom, or chosen leaders.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, honor and shame were significant social values. To "despise" someone or something was not merely a personal feeling but a public declaration that could affect one's social standing and relationships. The concept of "bazah" is deeply intertwined with the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where despising God's laws or prophets was seen as a serious breach of faith and loyalty.<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 despise<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>careless (1), contempt (1), despicable (1), despise (5), despised (32), despises (2), disdained (1), disdained* (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">בָּזָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>despise</b></font> (Palestinian <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <font class="hebrew2">בְּזָא</font>, compare <img src="/bdbgif/bdb010202.gif"> <em>raise the head loftily and disdainfully</em>) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Perfect</em> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/15-31.htm">Numbers 15:31</a> +;
