Strong's Lexicon Shimah: Shimah Original Word: שִׁמְעָה Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁמַע (shama), meaning "to hear" or "to listen." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Shimah, the concept of hearing and obedience is echoed in Greek terms such as ἀκούω (akouo, Strong's G191), meaning "to hear." Usage: Shimah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is associated with individuals in the genealogies of the tribes of Israel. The name itself carries the connotation of "hearing" or "obedience," reflecting a cultural emphasis on listening to and obeying God's commandments. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names were often given to reflect personal characteristics, divine attributes, or significant events. The root שָׁמַע (shama) is significant in Hebrew thought, as hearing and obeying God's word is a central theme throughout the Scriptures. The Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4-5), a foundational declaration of faith, begins with the imperative to "hear."
