Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

רָעַע

(1) imp. רֹעוּ Isaiah 8:9, fut יָרֹעַ to make a loud noise (lermen). (This primary signification variously modified, is found in all the roots beginning with the letters רע especially רָעַם compare fremo, רָעַד, רָעַשׁ; compare ῥοῖζος, ῥόθος, ῥάθαγος, Germ. raufchen, rafen, raffeln; Engl. to rush; also in the syllable רג, רהּ; see under the root רָגַז. The special sense of breaking, crushing is found in the roots רָעַע, רָעַץ; compare רָצַץ; the sense of trembling, which arises from being struck, in רָעַר, רָעַם רָעַל). Specially to break (as in Aram.), Psalms 2:9; Job 34:24; Jeremiah 15:12 and intrans., to be broken, Jeremiah 11:16.

(2) to be evil (from the idea of raging, being tumultuous, which is referred to an evil disposition; see רָשַׁע, as on the other hand, meekness, a placid and lowly mind is referred to goodness of disposition and mind; see עָנָו ; only in pret. רַע, fem. רָעָה, fut. יֵרַע (the examples of which I have referred to the root יָרַע p. 359, B ). רַע בְּעֵינֵי פ׳ to displease any one, Numbers 11:10. Farther, to be evil, is, i.q. to be noxious, hurtful; followed by לְ 2 Samuel 19:8 of the eye, to be envious; followed by בְּ Deuteronomy 15:9 of the face, to be sad, Ecclesiastes 7:3.

Hiphil הֵרֵעַ and הֵרַע, inf. הָרַע.

(1) to make evil, e.g. הֵרֵעוּ מַעַלְלֵיהֶם “they make their actions evil,” Micah 3:4 also to do evil, to do ill, Genesis 44:5, הֲרֵעֹתֶם אֲשֶׁר עֲשִׂיתֶם “ye have done ill that which ye have done,” das habt ihr übel gemacht. Followed by לַעֲשׂוֹת to do ill, to act wickedly, to live wickedly, 1 Kings 14:9 and with this omitted, id.; Isaiah 1:16, 11:9 Psalms 37:8; Proverbs 4:16. Part. מֵרַע Proverbs 17:4 pl. מְרֵעִים, an evil doer, Isaiah 1:4; Psalms 22:17, 37:9.

(2) to do evil to any one, followed by a dat. Exodus 5:23; Numbers 11:11 acc. Numbers 16:15; Psalms 74:3 (compare the same construction in the opp. הֵיטִיב); עַל 1 Kings 17:20 עִם Genesis 31:7 בְּ 1 Chronicles 16:22. Sometimes used of God as bringing calamities, followed by a dat. Jeremiah 25:6; Ruth 1:21 followed by an acc. Psalms 44:3.

Hithpoel הִתְרוֹעֵעַ to be broken in pieces (as by a blow), Isaiah 24:19 hence to perish, Proverbs 18:24.
