Strong's Lexicon marah: To rebel, be disobedient, be contentious Original Word: מָרָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G544 (ἀπειθέω - apeitheo): To disobey, be unbelieving - G506 (ἀντιλέγω - antilego): To speak against, contradict Usage: The Hebrew verb "marah" primarily conveys the idea of rebellion or disobedience, often in the context of defying authority or rejecting guidance. It is used to describe actions that are contrary to the will or command of God, leaders, or parents. The term implies a deliberate choice to oppose or resist, rather than an accidental or unintentional act. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, obedience to God and adherence to His commandments were central to the covenant relationship between God and His people. Rebellion, therefore, was not merely a personal failing but a communal and spiritual breach that could have serious consequences. The concept of rebellion was understood within the framework of covenant loyalty, where disobedience was seen as a violation of the sacred agreement with God.
