Usage: The term מְשׁוּבָה appears in the Hebrew Bible primarily in the context of Israel's unfaithfulness to God. It is often used by the prophets to describe the nation's spiritual rebellion and tendency to turn away from their covenant relationship with Yahweh. Context: The Hebrew term מְשׁוּבָה (meshubah) is a significant theological concept in the Old Testament, particularly in the prophetic literature. It is frequently used to describe the spiritual state of Israel when the people turn away from God and His laws, often resulting in moral and social decay. This term is closely associated with the idea of covenant unfaithfulness, where the people of Israel abandon their commitment to Yahweh and pursue idolatry and other sinful practices.
