Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words לֹא (lo), meaning "not," and רֻחָמָה (ruchamah), meaning "pitied" or "shown mercy."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper noun Lo-Ruchamah, as it is a specific Hebrew name used in the context of the Old Testament. However, the concept of "mercy" or "compassion" can be related to Greek words such as ἔλεος (eleos), meaning "mercy" or "compassion," found in various New Testament passages. Usage: Lo-Ruchamah is used as a proper noun, specifically as the name of a symbolic daughter of the prophet Hosea, representing God's message to the Kingdom of Israel. Context: Lo-Ruchamah is a symbolic name given to the daughter of the prophet Hosea and his wife Gomer, as recorded in the Book of Hosea. The name is significant in the prophetic narrative, as it conveys a message from God to the people of Israel. In Hosea 1:6, the Lord instructs Hosea to name his daughter Lo-Ruchamah, which means "not pitied" or "not shown mercy," to signify that God would no longer show mercy to the house of Israel due to their persistent unfaithfulness and idolatry. This name serves as a prophetic sign of impending judgment and the withdrawal of divine compassion. However, the narrative of Hosea also holds a promise of eventual restoration and mercy, as seen in the broader context of the book. The use of symbolic names in Hosea underscores the prophet's role in communicating God's messages through both words and personal life events.
