The term "abnormally" refers to something that deviates from what is usual, typical, or expected. In the context of the Bible, while the specific word "abnormally" may not be directly used in most translations, the concept can be found in various passages that describe actions, behaviors, or events that deviate from the norm or divine intention.

Biblical Context and Usage:

1. Physical Abnormalities:
In the Bible, physical abnormalities or deformities are sometimes mentioned in the context of ritual purity and offerings. For example, in Leviticus 21:17-23, the Lord gives instructions regarding the descendants of Aaron who have physical defects, stating that they must not approach to offer the food of their God. This passage highlights the importance of physical wholeness in the context of priestly duties, reflecting cultural and religious norms of the time.

2. Behavioral Abnormalities:
Abnormal behavior, particularly in the form of sin or rebellion against God, is a recurring theme in the Bible. The actions of the people during the time of Noah are described as exceedingly wicked and corrupt, deviating from God's intended way of living. Genesis 6:5 states, "Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was altogether evil all the time."

3. Spiritual Abnormalities:
Spiritual abnormalities can refer to deviations from true worship or faithfulness to God. The Bible often addresses the issue of idolatry, which is seen as an abnormal spiritual condition where people turn away from worshiping the one true God to serve idols. In Jeremiah 2:13 , God laments, "For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living water, and they have dug their own cisterns—broken cisterns that cannot hold water."

4. Miraculous Events:
Certain miraculous events in the Bible can be considered abnormal in the sense that they defy natural laws and human expectations. These events serve as signs of God's power and authority. For instance, the parting of the Red Sea in Exodus 14:21-22 is an extraordinary event where "Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night and turned it into dry land."

5. Prophetic Visions:
Prophets in the Bible often experienced visions that were abnormal in nature, filled with symbolic imagery and messages from God. These visions were intended to convey divine truths and warnings. In Ezekiel 1:4-28, the prophet describes a vision of four living creatures and the glory of the Lord, which is filled with unusual and striking imagery.

Related Concepts:

· Purity and Holiness: The concept of abnormality is often linked to the ideas of purity and holiness, especially in the Old Testament. Anything that deviates from God's standards of holiness is considered abnormal and requires correction or purification.

· Sin and Repentance: Abnormal behavior in the form of sin necessitates repentance and a return to God's ways. The Bible frequently calls for individuals and nations to repent from their abnormal ways and seek reconciliation with God.

· Divine Intervention: Abnormal events, particularly miracles, are often seen as acts of divine intervention, demonstrating God's involvement in the world and His ability to alter the natural order for His purposes.(adv.) In an abnormal manner; irregularly.
