Berean Strong's Lexicon kazab: Lie, falsehood, deceit Original Word: כָּזָב Word Origin: From the root verb כָּזַב (kazab), meaning "to lie" or "to deceive." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5579 (pseudos): Meaning "lie" or "falsehood." - G5582 (pseudomarturia): Meaning "false witness" or "false testimony." Usage: The Hebrew word "kazab" primarily denotes a lie or falsehood. It is used to describe statements or actions that are intentionally deceptive or untrue. In the biblical context, "kazab" often refers to false testimony, deceitful practices, or the propagation of untruths, which are condemned as contrary to God's nature and His commandments. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, truthfulness was a highly valued virtue, rooted in the character of God, who is described as a God of truth. The ninth commandment, "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor" (Exodus 20:16), underscores the importance of honesty and integrity. Lies and deceit were seen as destructive to community trust and justice, and they were often associated with idolatry and rebellion against God.
