Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic word לָמָא (lamá), which is a form of the Hebrew לָמָה (lamah).Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Hebrew entry is Strong's Hebrew 4100 • לָמָה (lamah), which also means "why" or "for what reason." This Hebrew term is frequently used in the Old Testament to express inquiry or to question the purpose or reason behind an event or action. Usage: This term is used in the New Testament in the context of expressing a question or seeking an explanation, particularly in a moment of distress or inquiry. Context: The Greek term "λαμά" appears in the New Testament in a poignant and significant context. It is most notably found in the Gospel accounts of Matthew and Mark, where it is part of Jesus' cry from the cross. In Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34, Jesus exclaims, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" which is translated as "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" (BSB). This expression is a direct quotation from Psalm 22:1, highlighting the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy and the depth of Jesus' suffering and sense of abandonment at that moment. The use of "λαμά" in this context underscores the human experience of Jesus and His identification with the suffering of humanity. It also serves as a profound theological statement about the nature of His sacrificial death and the fulfillment of Scripture.
