It can also carry the connotation of being perverse or deviating from a standard or path. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often implies a moral or ethical deviation, suggesting a departure from God's ways or commands.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, adherence to God's laws and commands was central to the community's identity and relationship with God. The concept of turning aside or departing from these laws was seen as a serious transgression. The use of "luz" in the Hebrew Bible reflects the importance of maintaining faithfulness to God's covenant and the consequences of straying from it.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive
