Strong's Lexicon amas: To melt, dissolve, faint, waste away Original Word: עָמַס Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: `amac Pronunciation: ah-MAS Phonetic Spelling: (aw-mas') Definition: To melt, dissolve, faint, waste away Meaning: to load, impose a, burden Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1590 (eklyo): To faint, to grow weary - G2576 (kamno): To be weary, to be sick Usage: The Hebrew verb "amas" primarily conveys the idea of melting or dissolving, often used metaphorically to describe the weakening or fainting of one's heart or spirit. It can imply a physical or emotional state of being overwhelmed, discouraged, or losing strength. This term is often used in contexts where fear, distress, or divine judgment causes a person or group to lose courage or resolve. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the heart was considered the center of emotion, thought, and will. Therefore, when the heart "melts," it signifies a profound emotional or psychological impact, often due to fear or awe. This concept is prevalent in the context of warfare, divine encounters, or significant trials, where the strength and courage of individuals or nations are tested.
