Original Word:שׁוֹבָב
Part of Speech:Adjective
Transliteration:showbab
Pronunciation:sho-vav'
Phonetic Spelling:(sho-bawb')
Definition:Backsliding, rebellious, wayward
Meaning:apostate, idolatrous

Word Origin:Derived from the root שׁוּב (shuv), meaning "to turn back" or "to return."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "shobab," the concept of backsliding or turning away from God can be related to Greek terms such as ἀποστασία (apostasia, Strong's G646), meaning "apostasy" or "falling away."

Usage:The Hebrew word "shobab" is used to describe a state of rebellion or waywardness, often in the context of turning away from God or His commandments. It conveys a sense of stubbornness and a refusal to follow the right path. In the biblical narrative, it is frequently used to describe the spiritual condition of the Israelites when they stray from their covenant relationship with God.

Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Israel, the concept of covenant was central to the relationship between God and His people. The Israelites were expected to adhere to the laws and commandments given by God as part of this covenant. When they failed to do so, they were often described as "backsliding" or "rebellious." This term reflects the cyclical nature of Israel's faithfulness and unfaithfulness throughout their history, as they repeatedly turned away from God and then returned to Him in repentance.
