Strong's Lexicon meri: Rebellion, disobedience Original Word: מֶרִי Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: meri Pronunciation: meh-ree Phonetic Spelling: (mer-ee') Definition: Rebellion, disobedience Meaning: stall-fed, a beeve Word Origin: Derived from the root verb מָרָה (marah), meaning "to rebel" or "to be contentious." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G543: ἀπειθής (apeithēs) - disobedient - G464: ἀνυπότακτος (anupotaktos) - insubordinate Usage: The Hebrew word "meri" primarily denotes rebellion or disobedience against authority, particularly against God. It is used to describe a willful defiance and a refusal to submit to divine commandments or guidance. This term often carries a negative connotation, highlighting the severity of turning away from God's will. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Israelite context, obedience to God was central to the covenant relationship between God and His people. Rebellion, therefore, was not merely a personal failing but a communal breach of the covenant. The Israelites were expected to follow God's laws as a sign of their faithfulness and devotion. Rebellion was seen as a serious offense that could lead to divine judgment and consequences for the entire community.
