Strong's Lexicon maarom: Nakedness, bareness Original Word: מַעֲרֹם Word Origin: Derived from the root עָרָם (aram), meaning "to be bare" or "to be naked." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1131 (gymnos): Meaning "naked" or "bare," used in the New Testament to describe physical nakedness or metaphorical exposure. Usage: The Hebrew word "maarom" refers to a state of being without clothing, emphasizing vulnerability and exposure. It is often used in a literal sense to describe physical nakedness but can also carry metaphorical implications of being unprotected or defenseless. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, nakedness was often associated with shame and humiliation. Clothing was not only a practical necessity but also a symbol of dignity and social status. To be stripped of one's garments was to be exposed to disgrace. This cultural understanding is reflected in various biblical narratives where nakedness is linked to vulnerability and dishonor.
