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.

This cultural understanding is reflected in various biblical narratives where nakedness is linked to vulnerability and dishonor.
