Strong's Lexicon Marah: To be rebellious, to be disobedient, to resist Original Word: מָרָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G544 (Apeitheo): To disobey, to be unbelieving - G506 (Anupotaktos): Disobedient, unruly Usage: The Hebrew verb "Marah" primarily conveys the idea of rebellion or disobedience, often in the context of defying authority or divine command. It is used to describe actions that are contrary to the will or instructions of God, indicating a deliberate choice to resist or oppose. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, obedience to authority, especially divine authority, was a fundamental aspect of societal and religious life. Rebellion against God was seen as a serious offense, often leading to consequences for individuals or communities. The concept of rebellion is deeply rooted in the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where obedience was expected as a response to God's covenantal promises and blessings.
