It conveys a sense of disrespect or irreverence towards the divine, often associated with verbal expressions of contempt or defiance. The word underscores the gravity of speaking against God or sacred things, highlighting the moral and spiritual implications of such actions.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, blasphemy was considered a serious offense, as it directly challenged the holiness and authority of God. The Israelites were a covenant people, and their relationship with God was central to their identity and societal structure. Blasphemy not only violated religious laws but also threatened the communal harmony and spiritual integrity of the nation. The severity of this sin is reflected in the Mosaic Law, which prescribed strict penalties for those found guilty of blaspheming the name of the Lord.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>fem. part. of <a href="/hebrew/1442.htm">gadaph</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a taunt<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>reviling (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">גְּדוּפָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>taunt</b></font>, only <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/5-15.htm">Ezekiel 5:15</a> <font class="hebrew2">וְהָֽיְתָה חֶרְמָּה</font> <font class="hebrew2">מוּסָר וּמְשַׁמָּה לַגּוֺיִם</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">וּג</font> <em>and she shall become a reproach and a taunt, an admonition and an astonishment, to the nations</em>. <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>taunt <p>Feminine passive participle of <a href="/hebrew/1442.htm">gadaph</a>;
