הָ/רֶ֔שַׁע
𐤄/𐤓𐤔𐤏
reshaʻ
Unjust, morally wrongful, or lawless behavior; the quality or state of acting contrary to what is considered just, upright, or in accordance with established norms of Israelite society or divine expectations. The term רֶשַׁע fundamentally denotes the condition, act, or system of wickedness—often in a specific social or legal context—rather than a generalized sense of evil. It can refer to a particular act of injustice, the persistent disposition or character of a person or group, or to systemic wrongdoing.
