Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, honor and shame were pivotal social values. Honor was associated with social standing and moral integrity, while shame was seen as a loss of status and respect.

In the Jewish context, shame was often linked to disobedience to God's commandments and was seen as a consequence of sin.
