2. (n.) Gross violation of human law, in distinction from a misdemeanor or trespass, or other slight offense. Hence, also, any aggravated offense against morality or the public welfare; any outrage or great wrong.

3. (n.) Any great wickedness or sin; iniquity.

4. (n.) That which occasion crime.

krim, krimz: This. term is used in English as the equivalent of the Hebrew mishpaT, "judgment," "verdict" (Ezekiel 7:23); zimmah, "a heinous crime" (Job 31:11); 'asham = "a fault," "sin" (Genesis 26:10, English Versions of the Bible "guiltiness"); and Greek aitia, "case," "cause" (Acts 25:27, the Revised Version (British and American) "charges"). In the King James VersionJohn 18:38;John 19:4, 6, the rendition is "fault."

egklema, "indictment," "charge" (Acts 25:16 the King James Version) is changed in the Revised Version (British and American) to "matter." A crime is a transgression against the public right; serious offense against the law; a base weakness or iniquity, all of which are regarded by the Bible as offenses against

(1) God, or

(2) man, or

(3) both.

An injury to the creature is regarded as obnoxious to the Creator. Specific forms of crime are the following:

Adultery.

See separate article.

Assassination.

This term does not occur in the English Versions of the Bible, but, of course, is included in the more general "to kill," or "to slay" (haragh = "to smite with deadly intent" "destroy," "kill," "murder," "put to death"). The law distinguished between unpremeditated and premeditated slaying, pronouncing a curse upon the latter (Deuteronomy 27:25). David expresses the deepest abhorrence of such an act (2 Samuel 4:9-12). Instances are found recorded inJudges 3:15-222 Samuel 3:27;2 Samuel 4:5-7; 13:28, 29; 20:9, 10;2 Kings 12:20;2 Kings 19:37Isaiah 37:38. See also separate article.

Bestiality.

According to Webster: "unnatural connection with a beast." This form of vice was treated by the Mosaic law as something exceedingly loathsome and abhorrent, calling for extreme language in its description and rigorous measures in its punishment. Both the beast and the guilty human were to be put to death (Exodus 22:19Leviticus 18:23;Leviticus 20:15, 16Deuteronomy 27:21), in order, as the Talmud says, to obliterate all memory of the crime.

Blasphemy.

See separate article.

Breach of Covenant.

Breach of Covenant (parar 'eth ha-berith).-According to Poucher (HDB, article "Crimes"), this term included:

(1) failure to observe the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:29); work on that day (Leviticus 23:28);

(2) sacrifice of children to Moloch (Leviticus 20:3);

(3) neglect of circumcision (Genesis 17:14Exodus 4:26);

(4) unauthorized manufacture of the holy oil (Exodus 30:33);

(5) anointing an alien therewith (Exodus 30:33);

(6) neglect of the Passover (Numbers 9:13).

Note also the following:Genesis 17:14Leviticus 26:15-44Deuteronomy 29:25;Deuteronomy 31:16, 20. Paul (Romans 1:31) speaks of asunthetoi = "Convenant-breakers."

Breach of Ritual.

A term not found in the Scriptures, but designed to cover a number of acts prohibited by the ceremonial law. They have been exhaustively enumerated by Poucher (HDB, article "Crimes"):

(1) eating blood, whether of fowl or beast (Leviticus 7:27;Leviticus 17:14);

(2) eating fat of the beast of sacrifice (Leviticus 7:25);

(3) eating leavened bread during the Passover (Exodus 12:15, 19);

(4) failure to bring an offering when an animal is slaughtered for food (Leviticus 17:4);

(5) offering sacrifice while the worshipper is under the ban of uncleanness. (Leviticus 7:20, 21;Leviticus 22:3, 4, 9);

(6) making holy ointment for private use (Exodus 30:32, 33);

(7) using the same for perfume (Exodus 30:38);

(8) neglect of purification in general (Numbers 19:13, 10);

(9) slaughtering an animal for food away from the door of the tabernacle (Leviticus 17:4, 9); even the alien must comply, so that the introduction of worship at other places might be avoided;

(10) touching holy things illegally (Numbers 4:16, 20 the Revised Version (British and American) "the sanctuary").

The punishment for the non-observance of these prohibitions was the "cutting off" from the transgressor's people (nikhrath miqqerebh = "cut off from among," i.e. excommunicated).

Breach of Trust.

SeeTRUST, BREACH OF.

Bribery.

See separate article.

Burglary.

This term does not occur. The corresponding act is defined as "thievery accompanied by breaking," and it places the offender beyond protection from violence (Exodus 22:2). The crime might be committed in various degrees, and to burglarize the "devoted things" was punishable by death (Joshua 7:25), as was also man-stealing (Exodus 21:16Deuteronomy 24:7).

Evil Speaking (Slander).

SeeSpeaking Evil.

Falsehood.

Occurs as the rendition of ma`al = "treachery," "sin," "trespass" (Job 21:34); and of sheqer = "a sham," "deceit," "lying" (2 Samuel 18:13Psalm 7:14;Psalm 119:118; 144:8, 11Isaiah 28:15;Isaiah 57:4;Isaiah 59:13;Jeremiah 10:14;Jeremiah 13:25Hosea 7:1Micah 2:11). In every case willful perversion of the truth or preference for the untruth is at least presupposed, hence, falsehood always marks an evil disposition, enmity against truth, and hence, against God; consequently is criminal in the fullest sense.

False Swearing.

"Swearing to a lie or falsehood" (sheqer) is mentioned inLeviticus 6:3, 1;Leviticus 19:12Jeremiah 5:2;Jeremiah 7:9Hosea 10:4Zechariah 5:4. From these passages and their context, it appears that this crime was considered in the twofold sense of a wrong against

(1) the neighbor, and

(2) against God, for the oath was an appeal to God as a witness to the truthfulness of the statement; hence, to swear falsely was to represent God as supporting a false statement.

Fornication.

Hebrew, zanah = "to commit adultery," especially of the female, and less frequently of mere fornication, seldom of involuntary ravishment; also used figuratively in the sense of idolatry, the Jewish people being regarded as the spouse of Yahweh (2 Chronicles 21:11Isaiah 23:17Ezekiel 16:26). Once we find the derivative noun taznuth (Ezekiel 16:29). In the New Testament, with both the literal and the figurative application, we find porneia, and porneuo (Matthew 5:32;Matthew 15:19John 8:41Acts 15:201 Corinthians 5:1;1 Corinthians 6:13, 18; 7:02; 10:08;2 Corinthians 12:21Galatians 5:19Ephesians 5:3Colossians 3:51 Thessalonians 4:3Revelation 2:14, 20, 21;Revelation 9:21;Revelation 14:8;Revelation 17:2, 4). The intensive ekporneuo = "to be utterly unchaste" is found inJude 1:7. Every form of unchastity is included in the term "fornication."

Forswear.

Found only inMatthew 5:33 in the sense of committing perjury (epiorkeo).

Harlotry.

The avocational or at least habitual, notorious practice of unchastity. In most instances the ordinary term for unchaste living, zanah, is employed (Genesis 34:31;Genesis 38:15, 24Leviticus 21:14Joshua 2:1 (Rahab);Judges 11:1;Judges 16:11 Kings 3:16;Proverbs 7:10;Proverbs 29:3Jeremiah 5:7Amos 7:17). For the publicly known woman of the street and the professional devotee in the pagan temple-worship, the term kedheshah, was employed (Genesis 38:21, 22 the King James Version;Hosea 4:14). The Greek porne, occurs inMatthew 21:31;Luke 15:301 Corinthians 6:15, 16;Hebrews 11:31James 2:25. Figurative: Often used metaphorically of idolatry or any defection from the Divine covenant, and applied particularly to Jerusalem (Isaiah 1:21); the Jewish nation (Jeremiah 2:20;Jeremiah 3:1, 6; often inEzekiel 16 andEzekiel 23Micah 1:7); Israel (Hosea 4:15); Nineveh (Nahum 3:4); Tyro, with reference to the various arts employed to renew her commerce (Isaiah 23:16) and to her restored traffic (Isaiah 23:17); and to antiChristian "Babylon" (Revelation 17:5, 15;Revelation 19:2). See also Fornication.

Homicide.

"Manslayer" (ratsach, "to dash in pieces," "to kill," "to murder"; Greek androphonos, with the same meaning): Mentioned inNumbers 35:6, 121 Timothy 1:9. The Hebrew law distinguished between the premeditated and the unpremeditated slaying. See separate article.

Idolatry.

See separate article.

Ill-treatment of Parents (Exodus 21:15, 17Leviticus 20:9Deuteronomy 21:18).

See below.

Injuries to the Person (Exodus 21:18Leviticus 24:19Deuteronomy 25:11).

Irreverence.

Lack of respect for God or His natural representatives, the parents or governmental officers. See also Parents, Crimes against; Blasphemy.

Incest.

Designated in Hebrew by zimmah, "vice," "wickedness," "refined immorality" (Leviticus 18:17;Leviticus 20:14); also "unnatural vice," tebhel, the same word that is used to designate the unnatural commingling with beasts. Amnon's deed is designated as checedh, indicating the degradation of the tenderness natural between brothers and sisters into a tenderness of an immoral character (2 Samuel 13). The crime of sexual relation of persons within the degrees of relationship forbidden by the Levitical law, as for instance, that of Lot's daughters with their father (Genesis 19:33); the son with his father's concubines, as for instance, Reuben (Genesis 35:22), and Absalom (2 Samuel 16:22; compare1 Corinthians 5:1); that of the father-in-law with his daughter-in-law (Genesis 38:15; compareEzekiel 22:11); of the brother with the sister or half-sister, as for instance, Amnon (2 Samuel 13:14); of the brother-in-law with the sister-in-law (Matthew 14:3); with the wife's mother, or the wife's daughter while living in apparent marriage with the mother (Leviticus 20:14;Leviticus 18:17). Illicit relation with the brother's widow is designated (Leviticus 20:21) as a disgraceful deed, literally, "uncleanness" (excepting the levirate marriage). Such acts were forbidden on the ground that the Jews were to avoid the evil practices of the Canaanites and the Egyptians in regard to marriage within the specified limits, because this would naturally result in breaking down the sanctity of the bonds connecting near relatives, and in throwing open the flood gates of immorality among them. It is the Divine plan that the unions based on mutual choice and love, mingled with carnality, shall become clarified more and more into the purer love of close consanguineal relations; not vice versa. Then, too, such provisions would secure higher results in training and in the production of mentally and physically healthy children, the balancing and evening up of contrasts of Nature, and the production of new and improved types. The principle on which the prohibitions are imposed seems to be this: Marriage is forbidden between any person and a direct ancestor or a direct descendant or any close relative, such as brother or sister of either himself or any of his ancestors or any of his immediate descendants.

Infanticide.

This crime, in the form in which it has been and is prevalent among barbarous nations, seems to have been quite foreign to the minds of the Hebrews, for they had too lofty a conception of the value of human life, and children were considered a blessing; their absence in the home, a curse (compareExodus 1:17, 21Psalm 127Psalm 128). For this reason, there appeared to be no reason to prohibit it by law, except as the Israelites might be influenced to sacrifice their children to Molech when following the religious customs of the Canaanites.

SeeMOLECH.

Kidnapping (Man-Stealing).

andrapodistes = "man-stealer," "slave-dealer" (1 Timothy 1:10). This was a mortal offense; but it seems that it, like some other forms of iniquity, was unknown to the Hebrews, except as they came in contact with it through their intercourse with other nations, such as the Romans and the Greeks, whose mythology frequently alludes to such acts. Lying, Malice, Manslaughter, Murder, Oath.

See separate articles.

Parents, Crimes against.

The law enjoined upon the infant all the reverence toward his parents, especially the father, that he could bestow on a merely human being. The reason for this lay in the fact that the heads of families were expected to transmit the Divine law to their household, and thus to stand in the place of God. That the mother was to share this reverence practically on equal terms with the father is shown by the fact that each is mentioned separately whenever obedience and reverence are enjoined upon the child (Deuteronomy 5:16). As the specific crime against Yahweh consisted in blasphemy and open rebellion against the law, so the crime against parents consisted in deliberate disobedience and stubbornness (Deuteronomy 21:18). And here again both the father and the mother are directed to lay hands upon him and bring him unto the elders for punishment. How greatly such conduct was held in horror is seen in many of the Proverbs, especially 30:17. It would be hard to specify all the acts which, in view of the above, would be considered crimes against the parents, but it is evident that everything which would lower their dignity and influence or violate their sense of just recognition must be carefully avoided, as witness the curse visited upon Ham (Genesis 9:20-27).

Perjury.

SeeFalse Swearing; Forswear above; also article OATH.

Prophesying, False.

By reason of his position as the recognized mouthpiece of Yahweh, the prophet's word was weighty in influence; hence, to prophesy falsely was equivalent to practicing fraud publicly. Jeremiah described the condition as "wonderful and horrible," which made such things possible (Jeremiah 5:30, 31). See alsoJeremiah 23, 12;Jeremiah 29:8, 9Ezekiel 21:23Zechariah 10:2Matthew 7:15;Matthew 24:11, 24Mark 13:22;Luke 6:26Acts 13:6 (Bar-Jesus);2 Peter 2:11 John 4:1Revelation 16:13;Revelation 19:20;Revelation 20:10. See also separate article.

Prostitution.

Hebrew and Christian morality never condoned this practice, though the Bible recognizes its existence as a fact even among God's people. The Hebrew father was forbidden (Leviticus 19:29) to give his daughter over to a life of shame (chalal, "to profane a person, place or thing," "to pollute"). See also Fornication, Harlotry, and Whoredom below.

Rape.

chazak = "to seize," "bind," "restrain," "conquer," "force," "ravish." The punishment for this crime was greater when the act was committed against a betrothed woman (Deuteronomy 22:25-29). See also Seduction.

Removing Landmarks. (Deuteronomy 19:14).

SeeLANDMARK.

Reviling (Exodus 22:28).

See Irreverence above and article REVILE.

Robbery.

gazal = "to pluck off," "strip," "rob," "take away by force or violence"; forbidden in the law and frequently referred to as despicable (Leviticus 19:13;Leviticus 26:221 Samuel 23:1Proverbs 22:22Isaiah 10:2, 13;Isaiah 17:14;Ezekiel 33:15;Ezekiel 39:10Malachi 3:8, 9).

Sabbath-Breaking.

As the Hebrew Sabbath was regarded as a day of rest, all acts absolutely unnecessary were considered a violation, a "breaking" of the Sabbath, which appears sufficiently from the commandment (Exodus 20:8-11); and the head of the household was held responsible for the keeping of this commandment on the part of all sojourners under his roof.

No other law gave the sophistical legalists of later Judaism so much opportunity for hair-splitting distinctions as did this. In answer to the question what labors were forbidden, they mentioned 39 specific forms of work, and then proceeded to define what constituted each particular form. But as even these definitions would not cover all possible questions, special precepts were invented. In order that one might not be caught in the midst of unfinished labors, when the Sabbath began (at sunset), certain forms of work must not be undertaken on Friday. Thus it was forbidden to fry meat, onions or eggs, if there was not sufficient time for them to be fully cooked before evening. No bread, no cakes, must be put into the oven, if there was not sufficient time remaining for their surface to brown before night.

SeeSABBATH.

Seduction.

ta`ah, "to dissemble," "seduce," and Ta`ah, with the same meaning; apoplanao, "to lead astray"; planao, "to go astray," "deceive," "err," "seduce"; and goes, "a wizard," "an impostor," "seducer." In all the passages in which the idea of seduction is expressed in the English the term is used not in the modern sense of a trespass against a woman's person, but in the more general and figurative sense of leading into sin generally (2 Kings 21:9Proverbs 12:26 the King James Version.;Isaiah 19:13 the King James Version;Ezekiel 13:10Mark 13:22 the King James Version;2 Timothy 3:13 the King James Version;1 John 2:26 the King James Version;Revelation 2:20). However, the modern English idea of the word is expressed in the law found inExodus 22:16, 17.

Slander.

See separate article.

Sodomy.

See Unnatural Vice.

Speaking Evil.

"To bring an evil (ra`) name upon" (Deuteronomy 19:151 Kings 22:23Psalm 34:13;Psalm 41:5;Psalm 50:19;Psalm 109:20; 140:11Proverbs 15:28;Proverbs 16:30). Evil speaking is considered a crime because it is simply the expression of the evil intents of the heart. This is brought out more clearly in the New Testament (Matthew 7:17, 18;Matthew 12:34, 35Mark 9:39Luke 6:45). As such, evil speaking (blasphemia) is represented as entirely unworthy a Christian character (Ephesians 4:311 Peter 4:4, 142 Peter 2:2, 10, 12James 4:11Jude 1:10); and katalaleo = "babble against," "gossip." It will be noticed from the above that evil speaking against those in authority is designated with the same word ("blasphemy") as raillery against God, they being considered God's representatives on earth.

See alsoEVIL-SPEAKING;SLANDER.

Stealing.

Hebrew ganabh = "to thieve" (literal, or figurative); by implication, "to deceive," "carry away," "secretly bring," "steal away" (Genesis 44:8Exodus 20:15;Exodus 21:16;Exodus 22:1Proverbs 6:30;Zechariah 5:3Genesis 31:20, 262 Samuel 15:6;2 Samuel 19:3Job 27:20Proverbs 9:17 ("Stolen waters are sweet"; the forbidden is attractive; compareRomans 7:7)). Greek klepto = "to filch," "steal" (Matthew 6:19, 20;Matthew 19:18John 10:10Romans 2:21;Romans 13:9Ephesians 4:28). See Theft.

Suicide.

No special law is found against this crime, for it is included in the prohibition against killing. Contrary to the practice and the philosophy of paganism, the act was held in deep abhorrence by the Hebrews because of the high value placed on human life. It was held inexcusable that any but the most degraded and satanic should lay hands on their own lives. Only the remorse of the damned could drive one to it, as witness Saul (1 Samuel 31:4) and Judas (Matthew 27:5).

Theft.

Hebrew genebhah "stealing" (concrete), "something stolen," "theft" (Exodus 22:3, 1); mentioned in connection with other wickedness (klope) inMatthew 15:19Mark 7:21; and (klemma) inRevelation 9:21. All three words are used abstractly for the act and concretely for the thing stolen.

SeethIEF.

Unchastity. No other form of sin is mentioned with disapproval and threats more frequently than the various forms of carnal vice, for no other sin is more natural or widespread.

SeeCHASTITY;LEWDNESS; MARRIAGE.

Unnatural Vice (Sodomy).

Alluded to with delicacy, but positively condemned as an abomination (Genesis 13:13;Genesis 19:5, 7Leviticus 18:22;Leviticus 20:13). It was the specific form of wickedness through which Sodom became notorious, so that "sodomite" is the regular translation of qadhesh, "a (quasi) sacred person," i.e. (technically) "a (male or female) devotee to licentious idolatry" (Deuteronomy 23:171 Kings 14:24;1 Kings 15:12;1 Kings 22:462 Kings 23:7Job 36:14 margin).
