Berean Strong's Lexicon temah: Astonishment, wonder, amazement Original Word: תֵּמָה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be amazed or astonished. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of astonishment is "θαῦμα" (thauma), which also means wonder or amazement. This is seen in the New Testament, where people frequently express amazement at Jesus' teachings and miracles (e.g., Matthew 8:27). Usage: The Hebrew word "temah" conveys a sense of astonishment or wonder, often in response to something unexpected or extraordinary. It is used to describe a reaction of awe or surprise, typically in the context of witnessing God's mighty acts or the unfolding of His divine plan. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, expressions of astonishment were common in response to divine interventions or miraculous events. The Israelites often experienced "temah" when they witnessed God's power, whether through deliverance, judgment, or revelation. This reaction was not merely emotional but also carried a spiritual dimension, acknowledging the majesty and sovereignty of God.
