Strong's Lexicon moal: Unfaithfulness, treachery, trespass Original Word: מֹעַל Word Origin: Derived from the root verb מעל (ma'al), which means to act unfaithfully or treacherously. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G543 (apistia): Unbelief, faithlessness - G389 (parabasis): Transgression, violation Usage: The term "moal" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote acts of unfaithfulness or treachery, particularly in the context of breaking faith with God or violating a covenant. It often implies a breach of trust or a betrayal of a sacred relationship, whether between individuals or between a person and God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, covenants and oaths were of utmost importance, serving as the foundation for relationships between individuals, tribes, and with God. Unfaithfulness, or "moal," was considered a serious offense, as it disrupted the social and religious order. The concept of faithfulness was deeply embedded in the community's understanding of their relationship with Yahweh, who was seen as a covenant-keeping God. Therefore, acts of "moal" were not only personal failings but also communal concerns that required atonement and reconciliation.
