Strong's Lexicon temes: Lizard Original Word: תֶּמֶס Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to be slimy Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for "temes," as the specific classification of unclean animals is primarily a feature of the Hebrew Old Testament. However, the concept of unclean animals is addressed in the New Testament, such as in Acts 10:14, where Peter speaks of not eating anything impure or unclean. Usage: The Hebrew word "temes" refers to a type of lizard. In the context of the Old Testament, it is specifically mentioned in the list of unclean animals in Leviticus 11:30. The term is used to describe a creature that is considered impure and not suitable for consumption according to the dietary laws given to the Israelites. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the dietary laws were a significant aspect of religious and cultural identity. These laws, found in the Torah, were intended to set the Israelites apart from other nations and to promote holiness and cleanliness. The classification of certain animals as unclean, including the "temes," was part of a broader system of purity that governed various aspects of daily life. Lizards, along with other reptiles, were often associated with impurity due to their habitat and behavior.
