Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "Akar" is ταράσσω (tarasso), which also means to trouble or disturb.

Usage: The Hebrew verb "Akar" primarily means to trouble or disturb. It is often used in the context of causing distress or bringing about a negative consequence. The term can imply a disruption of peace or order, leading to calamity or misfortune. In the biblical narrative, it is frequently associated with actions that result in divine displeasure or judgment.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "troubling" was significant, as it often related to actions that disrupted the community's harmony or violated God's commandments. The Israelites believed that sin and disobedience could bring trouble not only upon individuals but also upon the entire community. This understanding is reflected in the communal nature of many Old Testament laws and the emphasis on collective responsibility.
