It is often used in the context of legal disputes, personal quarrels, or broader societal conflicts. The term can refer to both verbal arguments and physical confrontations. In the biblical context, it frequently appears in discussions about justice, righteousness, and the resolution of conflicts.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, disputes and conflicts were common, as in any community. The legal system, as outlined in the Torah, provided mechanisms for resolving such disputes, often involving judges or elders who would hear cases and render decisions. The concept of רִיב (riḇ) is deeply embedded in the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where God often contends with His people over their faithfulness and obedience.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7301.htm">ravah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>moisture<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>moisture (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">בְּרִי</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/37-11.htm">Job 37:11</a> see <font class="hebrew2">רִי</font> below <font class="hebrew2">רוה</font>. </p><p> <font class="hebrew2">רִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>moisture</b></font> (for *<font class="hebrew2">רְוִי</font> Sta<sup>§ 117 c</sup>, or *<font class="hebrew2">רִוְיְ</font> Kö<sup>ii. 1, 64</sup>;
