Strong's Lexicon Zimmah: Wickedness, lewdness, evil plan, mischief Original Word: זִמָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root זָמַם (zāmam), meaning "to plan" or "to devise." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G766 (ἀσέλγεια, aselgeia): Often translated as "licentiousness" or "lasciviousness," this Greek term captures similar themes of moral depravity and lack of restraint. - G4189 (πονηρία, ponēria): Translated as "wickedness" or "evil," it reflects the broader concept of moral corruption. Usage: The Hebrew word "zimmah" primarily denotes a sense of wickedness or lewdness, often associated with immoral or sinful behavior. It is used in the context of actions or plans that are considered morally reprehensible or contrary to God's laws. The term can also imply a premeditated or deliberate aspect of sin, highlighting the intentional nature of the wrongdoing. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, adherence to the Mosaic Law was central to maintaining a covenant relationship with God. "Zimmah" often referred to actions that violated this covenant, particularly in the realm of sexual immorality or idolatry. Such behavior was seen as not only a personal failing but also a threat to the community's spiritual and social integrity. The term underscores the seriousness with which the Israelites were to regard God's commandments and the consequences of deviating from them.
