Strong's Lexicon shimmamon: Desolation, Appallment Original Word: שִׁמָּמוֹן Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: shimmamown Pronunciation: shim-mah-mone' Phonetic Spelling: (shim-maw-mone') Definition: Desolation, Appallment Meaning: stupefaction Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁמֵם (shamem), meaning "to be desolate" or "to be appalled." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of desolation is ἔρημος (erēmos), which also means "desolate" or "wilderness." Usage: The term "shimmamon" is used to describe a state of desolation or appallment, often in the context of judgment or divine retribution. It conveys a sense of utter devastation and ruin, typically as a result of God's judgment on a people or land due to their disobedience or sin. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, desolation was a powerful image used to describe the aftermath of divine judgment. The Israelites understood desolation as a consequence of breaking the covenant with God. The land, which was a sign of God's blessing, would become barren and uninhabitable as a result of the people's unfaithfulness. This concept is deeply rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where blessings and curses were contingent upon obedience to God's laws.
