Strong's Lexicon eryah: Nakedness, exposure Original Word: עריה Word Origin: Derived from the root ערה (arah), which means to be bare or naked. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1132 (gymnos): Often used in the New Testament to describe physical nakedness or metaphorical exposure, similar to the Hebrew concept. Usage: The term "eryah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a state of being without clothing, often symbolizing vulnerability, shame, or judgment. It can refer to physical nakedness or metaphorically to a state of being exposed or defenseless. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, including Israel, nakedness was often associated with shame and dishonor. Clothing was a sign of dignity and social status, and to be stripped of one's garments was to be humiliated. In the biblical context, nakedness can also symbolize spiritual or moral exposure, where one's sins or shortcomings are laid bare before God or others.
