Strong's Lexicon naaph: To commit adultery Original Word: נָאַף Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3431 (μοιχεύω, moicheuō): To commit adultery - G3429 (μοιχάομαι, moichaomai): To commit adultery Usage: The Hebrew verb "naaph" primarily means to commit adultery, referring to the act of engaging in sexual relations with someone other than one's spouse. It is used in the context of marital infidelity and is often associated with moral and spiritual unfaithfulness. The term is frequently employed in the Old Testament to describe both literal and metaphorical adultery, the latter being a symbol of Israel's unfaithfulness to God through idolatry. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, adultery was considered a grave sin and a violation of the covenantal relationship between husband and wife. It was not only a personal offense but also a communal concern, as it threatened the social and religious fabric of the community. The act of adultery was punishable by severe penalties, reflecting its seriousness in the eyes of the law and society. Spiritually, adultery was often used as a metaphor for idolatry, illustrating Israel's unfaithfulness to Yahweh by pursuing other gods.
