It is used to describe actions or attitudes that deviate from the holiness and righteousness expected by God. The term often implies a turning away from the covenantal relationship with God, leading to a state of defilement or apostasy.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Hebrew context, maintaining purity and holiness was central to the community's relationship with God. The concept of being "chaneph" was not merely about individual sin but was seen as a communal threat that could lead to divine judgment. The Israelites were called to be a holy nation, set apart for God's purposes, and any form of corruption or profanation was a serious breach of this calling.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
