    The Hebrew word for rebuke is ga'ar which meanings include: to cry out, to reprove (meaning to blame; to find fault).

    In Zechariah 3:2 the meaning could include: to check (meaning to stop; to restrain; to hinder; to curb) or to restrain by Moral Force.

    We commonly think of rebuke as an adverse confrontation, but Proverbs 27:5-6 says, "Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses."

    For a simple definition, according to the King James Dictionary, rebuke means "To reprimand; strongly warn; restrain."
