Strong's Lexicon bosheth: Shame, disgrace Original Word: בּשֶׁת Word Origin: Derived from the root בּוּשׁ (bush), meaning "to be ashamed" or "to feel shame." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G152 (aischynē): Shame, disgrace - G1519 (eis): Often used in contexts of direction or purpose, but in some contexts, it can relate to states of being, such as entering into shame. Usage: The Hebrew word "bosheth" primarily denotes a state of shame or disgrace. It is often used in the context of moral or spiritual failure, reflecting a condition of dishonor or humiliation. In the Old Testament, "bosheth" can refer to both personal shame and national disgrace, often associated with idolatry or sin against God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, honor and shame were significant social values. Shame was not only a personal feeling but also a public state that affected one's standing in the community. The concept of "bosheth" is deeply tied to the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where disobedience and idolatry brought shame upon the people. The use of "bosheth" in the Bible often highlights the contrast between the holiness of God and the sinful nature of humanity.
