Strong's Lexicon resha: Wickedness, evil, injustice Original Word: רֶשַׁע Word Origin: Derived from the root רָשַׁע (rasha), which means "to be wicked" or "to act wickedly." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G93 (adikia): Often translated as "unrighteousness" or "iniquity," this Greek term captures the essence of moral wrongness similar to "resha." - G4189 (poneria): Translated as "wickedness" or "evil," it aligns with the concept of "resha" in terms of moral corruption and evil deeds. Usage: The Hebrew word "resha" primarily denotes wickedness or moral wrongness. It is often used in the context of describing actions, thoughts, or behaviors that are contrary to God's laws and righteousness. The term can refer to both individual acts of sin and a general state of moral corruption. In the Old Testament, "resha" is frequently contrasted with righteousness (צֶדֶק, tzedek) and justice (מִשְׁפָּט, mishpat). Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of "resha" was understood within the framework of covenantal relationship with God. Wickedness was not merely a social or ethical failing but a violation of the divine order established by God. The Israelites were called to live according to God's commandments, and "resha" represented a departure from this divine standard. The prophets often spoke against the "resha" of the people, calling them to repentance and a return to righteousness.
