Strong's Lexicon boshah: Shame, disgrace Original Word: בְּאְשָׁה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: bo'shah Pronunciation: bo-shah Phonetic Spelling: (bosh-aw') Definition: Shame, disgrace Meaning: stink-weed, any other noxious, useless plant Word Origin: Derived from the root בּוֹשׁ (bosh), which means "to be ashamed" or "to feel shame." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G152 (aischynē): Often translated as "shame" in the New Testament, reflecting a similar concept of disgrace or dishonor. - G2617 (kataischynō): Meaning "to put to shame" or "to disgrace," used in contexts of public humiliation or dishonor. Usage: The Hebrew word "boshah" primarily denotes a state of shame or disgrace. It is often used in the context of personal humiliation or public dishonor. In the Old Testament, "boshah" conveys a deep sense of embarrassment or failure, often associated with sin, defeat, or unmet expectations. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, honor and shame were significant social values. Shame was not only a personal feeling but also a communal experience that affected one's family and community. The concept of "boshah" is deeply intertwined with the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where disobedience and idolatry often led to national shame and disgrace. The prophets frequently used this term to call the people to repentance and to highlight the consequences of turning away from God.
