Usage: The word שִׁגָּעוֹן appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of madness or irrationality.

Context: • The term שִׁגָּעוֹן is found in the Hebrew Bible and is often associated with a state of mental disturbance or irrational behavior. It is used to describe situations where individuals are perceived to be acting in a manner that is erratic or beyond the norms of rational conduct. • In Deuteronomy 28:28, the term is used in the context of the curses that would befall Israel for disobedience, where God warns of striking the people with madness: "The LORD will afflict you with madness, blindness, and confusion of mind." • In Zechariah 12:4, the term is used to describe the panic and confusion that God will cause among the horses of the enemies: "On that day," declares the LORD, "I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness." • The use of שִׁגָּעוֹן in these contexts underscores the severity of divine judgment and the resulting disorientation and irrationality that accompany it.
