It often implies a deliberate rejection or spurning, particularly in the context of a relationship with God. This term is used to describe actions that show a lack of reverence or respect, often resulting in divine displeasure or judgment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of honor and shame was significant. To despise or reject someone, especially God, was not only a personal affront but also a communal and spiritual issue. The Israelites were in a covenant relationship with Yahweh, and to n'atsah was to violate that covenant, leading to social and religious consequences. Prophets frequently warned against such behavior, emphasizing the need for repentance and reverence.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">נְאָצָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>contempt, contumely</b></font>; — <font class="hebrew2">יוֺם</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">צָרָה וְתוֺכֵחָה וּנ</font> <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/19-3.htm">2 Kings 19:3</a> = <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/37-3.htm">Isaiah 37:3</a>. <p> [<font class="hebrew2">נֶאָצָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>contempt</b></font> (toward <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font>), blasphemy; — plural <font class="hebrew2">נֶאָצוֺת</font> <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/9-18.htm">Nehemiah 9:18</a>,26 with <font class="hebrew2">עָשָׂה</font> of Israel; <font class="hebrew2">נָאָצוֺתֶיךָ</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/35-12.htm">Ezekiel 35:12</a> of Mt.
