Strong's Lexicon maal: Unfaithfulness, treachery, trespass, transgression Original Word: מַעַל Word Origin: Derived from the root verb מעל (ma'al), which means to act unfaithfully or treacherously. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3895 (parabasis): Transgression, overstepping - G3847 (paraptoma): Trespass, offense Usage: The Hebrew word "maal" primarily denotes an act of unfaithfulness or treachery, often in the context of a breach of trust or covenant. It is used to describe actions that are deceitful or betray a relationship, particularly in relation to God or within a community. The term can refer to both religious and social violations, emphasizing the gravity of breaking trust. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, faithfulness to God and to one another was a foundational principle. The concept of "maal" reflects the serious nature of covenant relationships, whether between God and His people or among individuals. Violations of these covenants were seen as not just personal failings but as communal and spiritual breaches that required restitution and repentance. The sacrificial system in the Old Testament often addressed such breaches, underscoring the need for atonement and restoration.
