The good (man) H2623 is perished out of the earth Micah 7:2 In Hasidim, the adherents of Hasidism are organized in independent "courts" or dynasties, each headed by its own hereditary leader, a Rebbe. Reverence and submission to the Rebbe are key tenets, as he is considered a spiritual authority with whom the follower must bond to gain closeness to God. Note, Hasidic thought drew heavily on "Kabbalah" H6901 sowing and reaping, or more literally "connections and consequences" and to an extent is a popularization of it. By the 1860s in Eastern Europe a new type of "Rebbe-Rabbi" emerged, one who was both a completely traditional "halakhic" authority as well as spiritual.

But used also in Judges 7:3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, H2730 let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
