- שֶׁקֶר sheqer · H8267 · treachery, wrongfully, without cause
- שֶׁקֶר (sheqer, H8267) encompasses a broader semantic range including deceit, falsehood, and lying, while ἀδίκως (adíkōs, G95) specifically denotes the adverbial manner 'unjustly' or 'wrongfully'; the Hebrew term appears as the cross-linguistic equivalent when LXX contexts render acts done 'in falsehood/deceit' as acts done 'unjustly,' reflecting overlapping moral evaluation of wrongful action though the Greek narrows to injustice specifically.
- חִנָּם chinnâm · H2600 · without payment, for free, gratis
- Greek ἀδίκως denotes acting unjustly/wrongly with moral culpability, while Hebrew חִנָּם primarily means without cause/cost/compensation; they overlap in contexts describing groundless harm (suffering 'without cause' = 'unjustly'), but חִנָּם's semantic core is gratuitousness/causelessness rather than injustice per se.
