a.li.lah denotes deeds or acts, often corrupt conduct, but also deeds proclaimed of God.

The term most often refers to wrongful or corrupt acts for which people are judged, remember their defilement, or are warned against evil conduct. It also occurs for deeds associated with God that are made known, remembered, or seen, and in two legal verses for allegations set forward against a woman.

1. Corrupt or blameworthy acts · dominant

   In Ezekiel 20:43, the plural construct form occurs with the acts by which Israel defiled itself and which it will remember with self-loathing. Ezekiel 36:17 joins the term to conduct that defiled the land, while Psalm 141:4 places it in a prayer not to practice evil with wrongdoers; the APB renders these clauses with expressions such as "wanton acts," "wanton deeds," and "wantonness in wickedness."

2. Deeds made known or remembered · common

   In 1 Chronicles 16:8 and Psalm 105:1, the plural construct form stands in the call to make known God's deeds among the peoples. Psalm 103:7 says that he made his ways known to Moses and his deeds to Israel, and Psalm 78:11 places the plural form in what the people forgot; Psalm 66:5 uses the singular absolute form in the summons to see God's works and action.

3. Charges brought in a dispute · rare

   In Deuteronomy 22:14, the plural construct form occurs as a man brings a bad name against his wife after claiming not to find virginity. Deuteronomy 22:17 presents the same setting before the city elders, where the APB renders the clause "he has set forth wanton charges."

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB variously uses "deeds," "actions," "wantonness," "wanton acts," "wanton deeds," and "wanton charges." These renderings reflect the surrounding clauses.
