Strong's Lexicon rasha: To be wicked, to act wickedly, to condemn Original Word: רָשַׁע Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G459 (anomos): Lawless, wicked - G93 (adikia): Injustice, unrighteousness Usage: The Hebrew verb "rasha" primarily conveys the idea of acting wickedly or being guilty of wrongdoing. It is often used in the context of moral and ethical violations against God's laws. The term can also imply a legal judgment, where one is declared guilty or condemned. In the biblical narrative, "rasha" is frequently contrasted with righteousness, highlighting the moral dichotomy between those who follow God's commandments and those who do not. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of righteousness (צַדִּיק, tzaddik) versus wickedness (רָשָׁע, rasha) was central to the community's understanding of justice and morality. The Hebrew Bible often portrays God as the ultimate judge who discerns the hearts of individuals, rewarding the righteous and punishing the wicked. This dichotomy is not only a personal moral issue but also a communal concern, as the actions of individuals could impact the entire community's standing before God.
