About This Tag
Throughout the Hebrew Bible, God is portrayed as following the rules of honor and shame culture, acting not for the benefit of Israel and other nations, but to vindicate and restore the honor of His own reputation. This reflects an ancient Near Eastern cultural context in which concepts of honor and shame held central social significance. When Israel’s actions bring public dishonor to God, divine intervention is often framed as a means of preserving or restoring His reputation among the nations.
