Strong's Lexicon mamoth: Death, mortality Original Word: מָמוֹת Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: mamowth Pronunciation: mah-MOTH Phonetic Spelling: (maw-mothe') Definition: a mortal disease, a corpse Meaning: The term מָמוֹת refers to a "mortal disease" or "a corpse." Word Origin: Derived from the root מוּת (muth), which means "to die" or "death." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek terms, the concept of death in the Greek New Testament is often captured by the word θάνατος (thanatos), Strong's Greek Number 2288, which similarly denotes death or the state of being dead. This Greek term is used in various contexts to describe both physical death and spiritual death, paralleling the Hebrew understanding of מָמוֹת. Usage: This word is used in the context of describing a fatal illness or the state of being a corpse. It is a noun that conveys the concept of death or the result of death. Context: • The Hebrew word מָמוֹת (mamoth) is a term that appears in the context of discussing death, particularly in the form of a disease that leads to death or the state of being a corpse. It is closely related to the root מוּת (muth), which is a common verb in the Hebrew Bible meaning "to die." The term captures the inevitability and finality of death, often used in poetic or prophetic literature to emphasize the consequences of sin or divine judgment. • In the Hebrew Bible, the concept of death is multifaceted, encompassing both physical death and spiritual separation from God. מָמוֹת, as a noun, specifically highlights the physical aspect of death, whether through disease or as a lifeless body. It serves as a reminder of human mortality and the transient nature of life. • The use of מָמוֹת in biblical texts often underscores the seriousness of divine warnings and the reality of human frailty. It is a term that evokes the somber reality of death as a part of the human experience, often used to call individuals to repentance or to highlight the consequences of turning away from God's commandments.
