Berean Strong's Lexicon atimazó: To dishonor, to treat shamefully, to despise Original Word: ἀτιμάζω Word Origin: From the Greek word ἄτιμος (atimos), meaning "without honor" or "dishonored." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of dishonor is קָלַל (qalal), Strong's Hebrew 7043, which means to be slight, swift, or trifling, and is used to convey the idea of cursing or treating with contempt. Usage: The verb ἀτιμάζω (atimazó) is used in the New Testament to describe actions or attitudes that bring dishonor or shame upon someone. It conveys a sense of treating someone with contempt or disrespect, often in a way that undermines their dignity or worth. This term is used to highlight the contrast between the honor that is due to individuals, especially those in positions of authority or those who are vulnerable, and the dishonor that is sometimes shown to them. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, honor and shame were pivotal social values. Honor was associated with social status, reputation, and the respect one received from others. Conversely, to be dishonored was to lose face and social standing. The concept of honor was deeply embedded in family, community, and religious life, and actions that brought dishonor were taken seriously. In the Jewish context, honoring one's parents and elders was a commandment, and dishonoring them was seen as a grave offense.
