Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of incitement or provocation is "παροξύνω" (paroxyno), Strong's Greek #3947, which means to provoke or to stir up.

Usage: The Hebrew verb "suth" primarily means to incite or provoke someone to action, often with a negative connotation. It is used in contexts where an individual is stirred up or enticed to perform an action, typically one that is contrary to God's will or that leads to conflict or sin.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of incitement was significant, as it often related to the influence of leaders, prophets, or foreign entities on the people of Israel. The idea of being led astray or provoked to sin was a serious concern, as it could lead to divine judgment or societal discord. The Hebrew Scriptures frequently address the dangers of being enticed away from faithfulness to God, emphasizing the importance of discernment and obedience.
