Context: The Hebrew word בּד (bad) is used in the Old Testament to describe falsehood or lies. It is a term that conveys the concept of deception, often in the context of false testimony or misleading statements. The word is used to highlight the moral and ethical implications of lying, emphasizing the importance of truthfulness in one's speech and actions. In the Hebrew Bible, lying is condemned as it goes against the character of God, who is depicted as a God of truth. The use of "bad" in the scriptures serves as a warning against deceit and underscores the value of integrity and honesty.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated in contexts that involve deceit or falsehood. For example, in passages where false prophets or deceitful individuals are mentioned, the word "bad" may be used to describe their actions or character. The emphasis is on the destructive nature of lies and the importance of adhering to truth.
