It is often used in the context of social injustice, highlighting the suffering of those who are wronged by others in positions of power.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, as in many ancient cultures, social justice was a significant concern. The Hebrew Bible frequently addresses issues of oppression, particularly in the context of the poor, widows, orphans, and foreigners—groups that were often vulnerable to exploitation. The prophets and wisdom literature emphasize God's concern for justice and righteousness, calling for the protection of the oppressed and the punishment of oppressors.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6231.htm">ashaq</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>oppression, extortion<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>acts of oppression (1), oppressions (2).<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">עֲשׁוּקִים</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun plural abstract</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>oppression, extortion</b></font>; — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ע</font> <a href="/interlinear/amos/3-9.htm">Amos 3:9</a>; <a href="/interlinear/job/35-9.htm">Job 35:9</a>, <font class="hebrew2">עֲשֻׁקִים</font> <a href="/interlinear/ecclesiastes/4-1.htm">Ecclesiastes 4:1</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>oppressedion <p>Or mashuq {aw-shook'}; passive participle of <a href="/hebrew/6231.htm">ashaq</a>; used in plural masculine as abstractly, tyranny -- oppressed(-ion).
