It is often used in the context of breaking covenants, agreements, or plans. The term can imply a sense of frustration or thwarting, where intended purposes or promises are rendered ineffective or void. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, covenants and agreements were foundational to societal and relational structures. The act of breaking a covenant was considered a serious offense, often leading to social and divine repercussions.
