Berean Strong's Lexicon marud: Rebellious, wandering Original Word: מָרוּד Word Origin: Derived from the root verb מָרַד (marad), meaning "to rebel" or "to be rebellious." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for rebellious behavior is ἀπειθέω (apeitheo - Strong's Greek 544), meaning "to disobey" or "to be unpersuaded." Usage: The term "marud" is used to describe a state of rebellion or wandering, often in a spiritual or moral sense. It conveys the idea of straying from a path or defying authority, particularly God's commandments. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often refers to the Israelites' tendency to rebel against God despite His guidance and provision. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, obedience to God was paramount, and rebellion was seen as a grave sin. The Israelites' history is marked by cycles of faithfulness and rebellion, often leading to divine judgment and calls for repentance. The concept of rebellion is deeply intertwined with the covenant relationship between God and His people, where faithfulness brings blessings and rebellion results in curses or exile.
