Strong's Lexicon mahalummoth: Blows, wounds Original Word: מַהֲלֻמָּה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: mahalummah Pronunciation: mah-hah-loom-moth Phonetic Spelling: (mah-hal-oom-maw') Definition: Blows, wounds Meaning: a blow Word Origin: Derived from the root הָלַם (halam), meaning "to strike" or "to smite." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of physical punishment or wounds can be related to Greek terms such as πληγή (plēgē - G4127), meaning "a blow" or "a wound." Usage: The term "mahalummoth" refers to physical blows or wounds, often implying the result of being struck or smitten. It is used in contexts that describe physical violence or the aftermath of a physical altercation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, physical punishment and violence were not uncommon, both in warfare and in personal disputes. The concept of receiving "blows" or "wounds" would have been understood in the context of both judicial punishment and personal conflict. The Hebrew legal system, as outlined in the Torah, included corporal punishment as a means of justice, reflecting the cultural norms of the time.
