Usage: The term "marduth" refers to a state or act of rebellion or defiance, often against authority or established order. It conveys a sense of insubordination and resistance, typically in a negative context. In the Hebrew Bible, it is used to describe the rebellious nature of individuals or groups who oppose divine or human authority.
Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, rebellion was a serious offense, whether against God, kings, or societal norms.

The Israelites' history is marked by periods of rebellion, which were met with prophetic warnings and calls for repentance.
