It conveys the idea of treachery or betrayal, often in the context of interpersonal relationships or dealings. The term implies a deliberate act of misleading or cheating others, often for personal gain.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, honesty and integrity were highly valued, especially in community and business dealings. Deceit was considered a serious offense, as it undermined trust and social cohesion. The Hebrew Scriptures frequently warn against deceitful practices, emphasizing the importance of truthfulness and righteousness. The cultural context of "tormah" reflects a society that sought to uphold justice and fairness, in alignment with God's commandments.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">תָּרְמָה</font> in <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בְּת</font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/9-31.htm">Judges 9:31</a> si vera lectio <em>in treachery, treacherously</em>, but form strange and meaning unsuitable;
