Strong's Lexicon Ramyah: Deceit, Treachery, Slothfulness Original Word: רמְיָה Word Origin: Derived from the root רָמָה (ramah), meaning "to cast" or "to throw." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "Ramyah," concepts of deceit and laziness can be found in Greek words such as δόλος (dolos, G1388) meaning "deceit," and ἀργός (argos, G692) meaning "idle" or "lazy." Usage: The Hebrew word "Ramyah" is used to describe a state of deceitfulness or treachery, often implying a lack of integrity or faithfulness. It can also denote slothfulness or laziness, particularly in a moral or spiritual sense. The term is used to highlight the contrast between righteous behavior and the deceitful or lazy actions that are condemned in the Scriptures. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, integrity and faithfulness were highly valued traits, both in personal conduct and in communal relationships. Deceit and treachery were seen as serious offenses against God's covenant and the social order. The concept of "Ramyah" would have been understood as a violation of trust and an affront to the divine law, which called for honesty and diligence.
