Strong's Lexicon tsimah: Horror, desolation, waste Original Word: צִמְאָה Word Origin: Derived from the root צָמַם (tsamam), which means to be silent or still. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint for "tsimah," the concept of desolation can be found in Greek words such as ἔρημος (erēmos), meaning deserted or desolate. Usage: The Hebrew word "tsimah" is used to convey a sense of horror or desolation. It often describes a state of utter devastation or ruin, typically as a result of divine judgment or calamity. The term evokes a profound sense of fear and awe, reflecting the consequences of turning away from God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of desolation was a powerful image. It was often associated with the aftermath of war, natural disasters, or divine retribution. The Israelites understood such desolation as a sign of God's displeasure and a call to repentance. The imagery of a land laid waste served as a stark warning to remain faithful to God's covenant.
