Strong's Lexicon mehumah: Confusion, tumult, panic, discomfiture Original Word: מְהוּמָה Word Origin: Derived from the root הוּם (hum), which means to make a noise, confuse, or disturb. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "mehumah" is "ταραχή" (tarachē), which also means disturbance or confusion. Usage: The Hebrew word "mehumah" is used to describe a state of confusion, disorder, or panic. It often conveys the idea of chaos or tumult, particularly in the context of battle or divine judgment. The term can also imply a sense of disarray or disturbance that leads to a lack of peace and order. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, "mehumah" would have been understood in the context of warfare and divine intervention. The Israelites believed that God could send confusion among their enemies as a form of judgment or to ensure victory for His people. This concept is rooted in the belief that God is sovereign over all nations and can disrupt the plans of those who oppose Him.
