Strong's Lexicon mirmas: Trampling, treading, trodden Original Word: מִרְמָס Word Origin: Derived from the root רָמַס (ramas), meaning "to trample" or "to tread upon." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "mirmas," the concept of trampling is captured in the Greek word καταπατέω (katapateo), Strong's Greek #2662, which also means "to trample" or "to tread down." Usage: The term "mirmas" refers to the act of trampling or treading upon something, often implying destruction or disdain. It is used metaphorically in the Hebrew Bible to describe the subjugation or humiliation of people or places, often as a result of divine judgment or military conquest. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the act of trampling was a powerful symbol of dominance and victory. Conquerors would often trample upon the symbols of their enemies to demonstrate their superiority. In the biblical context, "mirmas" is frequently associated with God's judgment against nations or peoples who have turned away from His commandments. The imagery of trampling conveys the severity and totality of the judgment being pronounced.
