Strong's Lexicon mishma: Report, news, rumor Original Word: מִשְׁמַע Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁמַע (shama), meaning "to hear" or "to listen." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G189 ἀκοή (akoē) – hearing, report - G3056 λόγος (logos) – word, message Usage: The Hebrew word "mishma" refers to a report or news that is heard. It often conveys the idea of information being spread or a message being received. In the context of the Old Testament, it can imply both good and bad news, depending on the context in which it is used. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, oral communication was the primary means of spreading information. Reports or news (mishma) were often delivered by messengers or through word of mouth. The reliability of such reports was crucial, as they could influence decisions, shape public opinion, and affect the morale of the people. The concept of hearing and listening was deeply embedded in the culture, as seen in the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4), which emphasizes the importance of hearing and obeying God's commandments.
