Usage: The term מִרְשַׁעַת is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a woman characterized by wickedness or evil behavior. It is a feminine noun that specifically denotes a female who acts in a morally corrupt or sinful manner. Context: The Hebrew term מִרְשַׁעַת (mirsha'at) is a feminine noun that appears in the context of describing a woman who engages in wicked or sinful behavior. The root of the word, רָשַׁע (rasha'), is commonly used throughout the Hebrew Scriptures to denote wickedness or unrighteousness. The feminine form, מִרְשַׁעַת, emphasizes the gender of the individual being described, highlighting the specific actions or character of a woman who is considered morally corrupt. In the cultural and religious context of the Hebrew Bible, wickedness is often associated with actions that go against the commandments and laws given by God. A מִרְשַׁעַת would be a woman who not only acts contrary to these divine laws but also embodies the characteristics of evil and immorality. The term serves as a warning against such behavior and underscores the importance of righteousness and adherence to God's commandments. The concept of wickedness in the Hebrew Bible is not limited to specific actions but encompasses a broader sense of moral and spiritual corruption. Therefore, a מִרְשַׁעַת is not merely someone who commits isolated acts of sin but is characterized by a lifestyle or pattern of behavior that is fundamentally opposed to the values and principles upheld by the biblical text.
