Berean Strong's Lexicon kelimmah: Disgrace, shame, reproach, dishonor Original Word: כְּלִמָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּלַם (kalam), which means "to insult" or "to humiliate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G152 (aischynē): Often translated as "shame" or "disgrace" in the New Testament. - G3681 (oneidismos): Translated as "reproach" or "insult." Usage: The Hebrew word "kelimmah" is used to convey a sense of disgrace, shame, or reproach. It often describes a state of public dishonor or humiliation, whether experienced by individuals, groups, or nations. The term can refer to both the internal feeling of shame and the external manifestation of disgrace. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, honor and shame were pivotal social values. Honor was associated with social standing, reputation, and the respect of one's community, while shame was a state to be avoided at all costs. "Kelimmah" reflects the deep cultural aversion to disgrace and the importance of maintaining one's honor. Public shame could result from personal failure, sin, or defeat in battle, and it often had significant social and religious implications.
