What I have rendered as “stubbornly rebellious” means “to be stubborn, to be rebellious, or to turn away.” It is usually translated as “stubborn or rebellious.” But the very next word means rebellious as well. The two together either mean “stubborn and rebellious” or point to two types of rebellion, “stubbornly rebellious and provocatively rebellious.”
