It is used to describe the animosity or hatred that exists between individuals or groups. In the biblical context, it often refers to the spiritual and moral conflict between good and evil, as well as interpersonal conflicts.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, enmity was a significant aspect of social and familial relationships. The concept of "ebah" reflects the deep divisions and hostilities that could arise between tribes, nations, and even within families. In the biblical narrative, enmity is often portrayed as a consequence of sin and disobedience to God, highlighting the brokenness of human relationships and the need for divine intervention and reconciliation.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/340.htm">ayab</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>enmity<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>enmity (5).<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">אֵיבָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>enmity</b></font> — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/3-15.htm">Genesis 3:15</a> 2t.;
