1. to blaspheme, revile — Used exclusively in the Piel stem, meaning to speak contemptuously against God or to revile, reproach. Occurs in Numbers 15:30 (the one who blasphemes YHWH, participial form megaddeph), 2 Kings 19:6, 22 = Isaiah 37:6, 23 (Sennacherib's servants blasphemed YHWH, and 'whom have you reviled?'), Psalm 44:16 (the voice of the one who reviles), and Ezekiel 20:27 (your fathers blasphemed Me). Multilingual glosses confirm a single sense: Arabic jaddafa, Hindi ninda ki (reproach/insult), Korean modok (blasphemy), Spanish blasfemaron. The perfect, participle, and consecutive perfect forms all express the same concept of verbal sacrilege against the divine, with no semantic distinction between conjugational variants. 7×
