Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G4624 (σκανδαλίζω, skandalizō): To cause to stumble, to offend • G1294 (διαστρέφω, diastrephō): To distort, to pervert Usage: The term suggests a deviation from a standard or norm, often with negative connotations. Context: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of justice and righteousness was central to the community's covenant relationship with God. The law, given through Moses, was seen as a divine standard that guided the moral and ethical conduct of the people. To "avah" or pervert this standard was to act against the covenant and disrupt the social and spiritual order. The prophets frequently condemned such actions, calling the people back to faithfulness and integrity.
