However, concepts of derision or scorn in the Greek New Testament may be expressed through terms such as ἐμπαίζω (empaizo • to mock) or καταγελάω (katagelao • to laugh at, deride). These Greek terms capture similar themes of ridicule and contempt found in the Hebrew שְׁרֵקָה. Usage: The term שְׁרֵקָה is used in the context of expressing derision or scorn, often through a hissing sound. It is a figurative expression of contempt or mockery. Context: The Hebrew word שְׁרֵקָה (shereqah) appears in the Old Testament to convey a sense of derision or scorn. This term is rooted in the action of hissing, which in ancient Near Eastern cultures was a common way to express disdain or mockery. The act of hissing was not merely a sound but a symbolic gesture of contempt, often directed towards those who were defeated, humiliated, or considered unworthy.
