It conveys the idea of someone who crushes or subjugates others through force or authority.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the concept of an oppressor was well understood, as the Israelites themselves experienced oppression under various foreign powers, such as the Egyptians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. The term "raciyc" would have resonated with the Israelites as they recalled their history of being subjected to harsh rulers and tyrants. The biblical narrative often contrasts the oppressive rulers with the just and righteous leadership that God desires for His people.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
