Strong's Lexicon evel or avel or avlah or olah: Iniquity, injustice, unrighteousness, wrong, wickedness Original Word: עֶוֶל Word Origin: Derived from the root עָוַל (aval), meaning to act unjustly or to be perverse. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G93 (adikia): Injustice, unrighteousness - G458 (anomia): Lawlessness, iniquity Usage: The Hebrew word "evel" and its variants are used to describe actions or conditions that are morally wrong, unjust, or wicked. It often refers to a deviation from what is right or just, encompassing both personal sin and systemic injustice. The term is used to highlight the moral and ethical failures of individuals or societies, emphasizing a departure from God's standards of righteousness. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, justice and righteousness were foundational to societal stability and divine favor. The Hebrew concept of "evel" reflects a deep understanding of moral order as established by God. In Israelite society, justice was not merely a legal matter but a covenantal obligation, with "evel" representing a breach of this divine covenant. Prophets and leaders were often called to address "evel" within the community, urging a return to God's righteous ways.
