Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root רָשַׁע (rasha), which means to be wicked or to act wickedly.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that corresponds to the concept of רִשְׁעָה is found in Strong's Greek Number G1715, which is ἔμπροσθεν (emprosthen). However, it is important to note that ἔμπροσθεν primarily means "before" or "in front of" and does not directly translate the concept of wickedness. Instead, the Greek term that more closely aligns with the idea of wickedness or wrongdoing is ἀδικία (adikia), which is Strong's Greek Number G93. This term is used in the New Testament to describe unrighteousness or injustice, paralleling the Hebrew concept of רִשְׁעָה. Usage: The word רִשְׁעָה appears in the Hebrew Bible to characterize actions or conditions that are contrary to God's laws and righteousness. It is often used in contexts that highlight moral corruption or injustice. Context: רִשְׁעָה is a feminine noun that appears in the Hebrew Scriptures to convey the concept of wickedness or wrongdoing. It is used to describe the moral state of individuals or societies that have deviated from the path of righteousness. The term is often associated with judgment and condemnation, as it reflects a departure from the divine standards set forth in the Torah. In the prophetic literature, רִשְׁעָה is frequently used to call out the moral failings of Israel and the surrounding nations, urging a return to covenantal faithfulness. The word underscores the seriousness of sin and the need for repentance and divine forgiveness.
