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: a blow Meaning: A blow or wound, typically referring to a physical strike or impact. Word Origin: Derived from the root verb הָלַם (halam), which means "to strike" or "to smite." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2288 (θάνατος, thanatos): This Greek term means "death" and is often used in the New Testament to describe both physical death and spiritual death as a consequence of sin. • G5098 (τιμή, timē): This Greek word means "honor" or "value," and while it does not directly correspond to the concept of a blow, it can be related in terms of the consequences or reparations associated with an injury or offense. These Greek terms, while not direct translations of מַהֲלֻמָּה, provide a broader understanding of the biblical themes of life, death, and the value of human dignity in the context of physical and spiritual harm. Usage: The term מַהֲלֻמָּה is used in the context of physical violence or striking, often implying a severe or forceful blow. Context: מַהֲלֻמָּה appears in the Hebrew Bible as a noun that denotes a physical blow or wound. It is used to describe the act of striking or the result of being struck. The term is relatively rare in the biblical text, emphasizing the severity or significance of the blow when it is mentioned. In the context of ancient Israelite society, physical blows could be part of judicial punishment, warfare, or personal conflict. The word underscores the physical and sometimes metaphorical impact of violence, reflecting the broader biblical themes of justice, retribution, and the consequences of sin. In the Berean Standard Bible, מַהֲלֻמָּה is translated in a way that captures the intensity and seriousness of the action. The term is often associated with divine judgment or human conflict, illustrating the tangible effects of sin and disobedience. The use of מַהֲלֻמָּה in scripture serves as a reminder of the physical and spiritual repercussions of violence and the need for reconciliation and peace.
