Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root word שָׁמֵם (shamem), which means "to be desolate" or "to be appalled."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G504: ἀναίρεσις (anairesis) • While not a direct translation, this term can imply removal or destruction, concepts related to desolation.
• G1372: διψάω (dipsao) • Meaning "to thirst," this term can be associated with the arid conditions of a desert or wilderness.
• G2048: ἔρημος (eremos) • Directly translates to "desert" or "wilderness," closely aligning with the meaning of "Yeshimon" as a desolate place.

Usage: The word "Yeshimon" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a wilderness or desert area. It is often used in a geographical context to denote specific regions known for their desolation and harsh conditions.

Context: • "Yeshimon" appears in several passages throughout the Old Testament, often highlighting the stark and uninhabitable nature of certain regions. It is frequently mentioned in the context of the Israelites' wanderings in the wilderness and is sometimes used metaphorically to describe spiritual desolation or judgment.
• In Numbers 21:20, the term is used to describe a location in the wilderness: "and from Bamoth to the valley in Moab where the top of Pisgah overlooks the wasteland (Yeshimon)."
• In 1 Samuel 23:19, it is mentioned in the narrative of David's flight from Saul: "Then the Ziphites went up to Saul at Gibeah and said, 'Is David not hiding among us in the strongholds of Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah south of Jeshimon?'"
• The desolation implied by "Yeshimon" serves as a backdrop for divine encounters, testing, and deliverance, as seen in the experiences of the Israelites and figures like David.
