It conveys the idea of being pressed down or burdened by external forces, whether they be political, social, or personal.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the concept of oppression was a significant social issue. The Hebrew society was agrarian, and many people were vulnerable to economic exploitation by the wealthy and powerful. The Law of Moses included numerous provisions to protect the poor and marginalized from oppression, emphasizing justice and equity. Prophets frequently spoke against the oppression of the poor and called for repentance and social justice.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a man of Judah<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Maaz (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">מַ֫עַץ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>in Judah</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/2-27.htm">1 Chronicles 2:27</a>;
