Strong's Lexicon hashmauth: Report, Announcement, Message Original Word: הַשְׁמָעוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁמַע (shama), meaning "to hear" or "to listen." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament for similar concepts is ἀγγελία (angelia), Strong's Greek #31, meaning "message" or "announcement." Usage: The term "hashmauth" refers to a report or announcement, often conveying a message that is meant to be heard and understood by an audience. It can imply the act of making something known or the content of what is being communicated. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, oral communication was a primary means of conveying information, whether it be news, divine messages, or instructions. The concept of "hearing" was deeply embedded in the culture, as seen in the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4), which begins with the imperative to "hear." Reports and announcements were often delivered by messengers or prophets, who played crucial roles in the dissemination of important information.
