Strong's Lexicon mamoth: Death, mortality Original Word: מָמוֹת Word Origin: Derived from the root מוּת (muth), meaning "to die" or "death." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of death is θάνατος (thanatos), Strong's Greek 2288, which appears in the New Testament to describe both physical death and spiritual death. Usage: The term "mamoth" is used to denote the concept of death or the state of being mortal. It reflects the inevitable end of life that all living beings face. In the Hebrew Bible, it often conveys the somber reality of human mortality and the transient nature of earthly existence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, death was a significant event that marked the transition from the physical world to the afterlife. The Israelites had specific customs and rituals surrounding death, including mourning practices and burial rites. The concept of death was also deeply intertwined with theological beliefs about sin, judgment, and the hope of resurrection. Understanding death as a part of God's sovereign plan was crucial for the Israelites, who viewed life and death within the context of their covenant relationship with God.
