Usage: The word "mirzach" is used in the context of both joyous and mournful gatherings, indicating a setting of loud noise, whether from revelry or lamentation. Context: • The Hebrew term "mirzach" appears in the context of social gatherings characterized by loud expressions, whether of joy or sorrow. In the prophetic literature, it is often used to describe scenes of revelry that are condemned by the prophets for their excess and lack of spiritual focus. For instance, in Amos 6:7, the term is used to describe the feasting and revelry of the Israelites, which is criticized by the prophet Amos as indicative of their complacency and moral decline: "Therefore, you will be among the first to go into exile; your feasting and lounging will end."
