Usage: The term "iqqeshuth" refers to a state of moral crookedness or perversity. It is used to describe a deviation from what is considered righteous or straight in the eyes of God. This word often conveys a sense of moral corruption or a deliberate turning away from the path of righteousness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of straightness or uprightness was often associated with righteousness and adherence to God's laws.
