These Greek terms reflect various aspects of rebellion, disobedience, and rejection, paralleling the Hebrew concept of מָרַד in different contexts within the New Testament.

Usage: The verb מָרַד (marad) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe acts of rebellion or revolt, often against authority or established order. It conveys a sense of defiance and insubordination.

Context: The Hebrew verb מָרַד (marad) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, primarily to describe acts of rebellion against God, kings, or other forms of authority. This term is often associated with a deliberate and conscious decision to oppose or resist authority.

In the Berean Standard Bible, מָרַד is used in passages such as 2 Kings 18:7, where it describes Hezekiah's rebellion against the king of Assyria: "And the LORD was with him; he was successful in whatever he undertook. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him." This highlights the political and nationalistic aspects of rebellion, as well as the theological dimension, where rebellion can be seen as an act of faith or defiance depending on the context.

Another example is found in Nehemiah 2:19, where the term is used to describe the opposition faced by Nehemiah: "But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official, and Geshem the Arab heard about this, they mocked and despised us, saying, 'What is this you are doing? Are you rebelling against the king?'" Here, מָרַד is used to question the legitimacy and loyalty of Nehemiah's actions, reflecting the tension between obedience to earthly rulers and divine mandates.

The concept of rebellion in the biblical narrative often carries a negative connotation, especially when directed against God, as seen in the prophetic literature where Israel's rebellion is frequently condemned. However, when directed against oppressive human rulers, it can be portrayed in a more positive light, as an assertion of divine justice or freedom.
