Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G5111 (τολμάω, tolmao): To dare, to be bold • G4642 (σκληροτράχηλος, sklērotrachēlos): Stiff-necked, obstinate These Greek terms capture similar themes of boldness and obstinacy, often used in the New Testament to describe attitudes of defiance or courage, depending on the context. Usage: The term יָעַז (ya'az) is used in the context of describing a bold or obstinate attitude. It conveys a sense of stubbornness or a strong-willed nature, often in defiance or resistance. Context: The Hebrew root יָעַז (ya'az) is a verb that appears in the context of describing a bold or obstinate demeanor. This term is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, but when it does appear, it characterizes individuals or groups who exhibit a strong-willed or defiant attitude. The concept of obstinacy in the biblical narrative often carries a negative connotation, associated with resistance to divine instruction or authority. In the ancient Near Eastern cultural context, boldness could be seen as a virtue when aligned with righteous causes, but as a vice when it led to rebellion against God or societal norms. The term reflects the tension between human will and divine command, a recurring theme in biblical literature.
