Strong's Lexicon Zaham: To be defiled, to be loathsome, to be abhorred Original Word: זַהַם Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of defilement and abhorrence can be related to Greek terms such as "μιαίνω" (miaino - Strong's Greek 3392), which means to defile or pollute, often used in the New Testament to describe moral and spiritual impurity. Usage: The Hebrew verb "zaham" conveys a sense of being defiled or loathsome, often in a moral or spiritual context. It is used to describe a state of being that is detestable or abhorred, typically in the eyes of God. This term is often associated with sin and moral corruption, indicating a condition that is offensive and unacceptable. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, concepts of purity and defilement were significant, both in religious and social contexts. The Hebrew Bible often uses terms like "zaham" to describe the spiritual state of individuals or nations that have turned away from God's commandments. Such language underscores the importance of holiness and the consequences of moral and spiritual corruption. The Israelites were called to be a holy people, set apart for God, and any deviation from this calling was seen as abhorrent.
