Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root בּוּשׁ (būš), which means "to be ashamed" or "to feel shame."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Greek Number 149: αἰσχύνη (aischynē) • meaning "shame" or "disgrace."
Strong's Greek Number 808: ἀσχημοσύνη (aschēmosynē) • meaning "indecency" or "shameful exposure."

These Greek terms similarly convey the notion of shame and modesty, paralleling the Hebrew concept of "māḇūš" in the context of human nakedness and the associated feelings of disgrace.

Usage: The word "māḇūš" is used in the context of describing parts of the body that are considered private and are often associated with feelings of shame or the need for modesty. It is a term that appears in discussions of nakedness and exposure, often in a metaphorical or symbolic sense.

Context: The Hebrew term "מָבֻשׁ" (māḇūš) is a noun that appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote the pudenda, or private parts, of a person. This term is rooted in the concept of shame, as indicated by its derivation from the root בּוּשׁ (būš), which means "to be ashamed." In the cultural and religious context of the Bible, nakedness and the exposure of one's private parts were often associated with disgrace and dishonor. The term is used to convey the idea of modesty and the need to cover one's nakedness to avoid shame. This reflects the broader biblical theme of human vulnerability and the need for divine covering and protection. The concept of shame associated with nakedness is evident in various biblical narratives, where exposure is linked to humiliation or judgment.
