Strong's Lexicon bish: Bad, evil, wicked Original Word: בִּאוּשׁ Word Origin: Derived from a root word in Hebrew that conveys the idea of being bad or evil. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament for similar concepts is "πονηρός" (ponēros), which also means evil or wicked. Usage: The Hebrew word "בִּישׁ" (bish) is used to describe something that is inherently bad, evil, or wicked. It often refers to moral or ethical corruption and is used to characterize actions, thoughts, or intentions that are contrary to God's standards of righteousness. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Hebrew context, the concept of "bish" would have been understood within the framework of the covenant relationship between God and Israel. The Israelites were called to live according to God's laws, and anything that deviated from this path was considered "bish." This term would have been used to describe behaviors or attitudes that were seen as destructive to the community and offensive to God.
