ἀδικία adikía · G93 · unjust deed, unrighteousness, doing what is unjust

Greek ἀδικία serves as the standard rendering of Hebrew עֶוֶל, both denoting injustice or unrighteousness as a quality and an act; the Greek term emphasizes legal injustice while the Hebrew encompasses broader moral perverseness, but the semantic overlap is direct and the translation relationship well established.

ἄδικος ádikos · G94 · unjust, unjustly, unrighteous

Hebrew עֶוֶל (iniquity, unrighteousness) is rendered by Greek ἄδικος (unjust, wicked) in LXX alignment data, establishing cross-linguistic equivalence for the semantic domain of injustice and moral wrongdoing.

ἀνομία anomía · G458 · to live lawlessly, lawlessness, lawless living

Greek ἀνομία (anomía, G458) is the standard LXX rendering of Hebrew עֶוֶל (ʻevel, H5766), both denoting fundamental violation of moral/legal order—Hebrew עֶוֶל emphasizes the perverseness or crookedness inherent in injustice, while Greek ἀνομία explicitly frames the concept as lawlessness or violation of νόμος (law), making them cross-linguistic equivalents with slightly different conceptual framing of the same core reality.
