It often carries the connotation of making a formal or authoritative declaration. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it is typically associated with the proclamation of important messages, decrees, or divine commands.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, public proclamations were a primary means of communication, especially for conveying royal decrees, religious instructions, or prophetic messages. Town criers or heralds would often be employed to ensure that the message reached the entire community. The act of proclamation was not only a means of communication but also a way to assert authority and ensure compliance with the announced message.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) denominative verb from <a href="/hebrew/3744.htm">karoz</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to make proclamation<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>issued a proclamation (1).<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">כְּרַז</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb denominative Haph`el</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>make proclamation</b></font> (possibly directly dependent on <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">κηρύξ</font> (D<sup>§ 37, p. 146</sup> (2nd ed. 183) K<sup>l.c.</sup> M<sup>67</sup>*), but even then formed as denominative;
