Usage: The verb נָאַר (na'ar) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the action of rejecting or treating something or someone with disdain or contempt. It is often used in contexts where there is a turning away or a refusal to accept.

Context: The Hebrew verb נָאַר (na'ar) appears in the Old Testament to describe the act of rejecting or spurning. This term is used in various contexts, often implying a strong sense of disdain or contempt. For example, in the context of divine-human relationships, it can describe the rejection of God's commands or the spurning of His covenant. The term is also used in interpersonal relationships, where one party may reject or disdain another.

In the Berean Standard Bible, נָאַר is translated in a way that captures the essence of rejection or contempt. For instance, in Hosea 4:6, the concept of rejection is evident: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you as My priests." Here, the rejection of knowledge leads to a reciprocal rejection by God, illustrating the serious consequences of spurning divine instruction.

The usage of נָאַר highlights the gravity of turning away from what is right or true, often resulting in negative consequences. It serves as a warning against the dangers of rejecting wisdom, guidance, or divine authority.
