Strong's Lexicon avval: Iniquity, injustice, unrighteousness Original Word: עַוָּל Word Origin: Derived from the root עָוַל (aval), which means to act unjustly or to do wrong. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G93 (adikia): Injustice, unrighteousness - G458 (anomia): Lawlessness, iniquity Usage: The Hebrew word "avval" is used to denote acts of injustice or unrighteousness. It often refers to moral wrongs or ethical violations, emphasizing the deviation from what is considered just and right according to God's standards. In the biblical context, it is associated with behaviors and actions that are contrary to the divine law and righteousness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, justice and righteousness were foundational to the community's relationship with God and each other. The concept of "avval" would have been understood as a serious breach of covenantal obligations, both in terms of personal conduct and communal justice. The Hebrew Scriptures frequently address issues of justice, emphasizing God's desire for His people to live in a way that reflects His character.
