Strong's Lexicon tahpukah: Perversity, perversion, deceit, or frowardness. Original Word: תַּהְפֻּכָה Word Origin: Derived from the root הָפַךְ (haphak), meaning "to turn" or "to overturn." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, similar concepts can be found in words like "ἀδικία" (adikia - unrighteousness) and "σκολιός" (skolios - crooked, perverse). Usage: The Hebrew word "tahpukah" is used to describe a state of moral corruption or deviation from what is right and true. It often conveys the idea of a deliberate turning away from righteousness, resulting in deceitful or perverse behavior. In the context of the Old Testament, it is frequently associated with the actions and attitudes that are contrary to God's will and wisdom. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, adherence to God's laws and commandments was central to maintaining a covenant relationship with Him. "Tahpukah" represents a breach of this covenant, highlighting behaviors that disrupt social harmony and spiritual fidelity. The concept of perversity was not only a personal failing but also a communal concern, as it could lead to societal decay and divine judgment.
