Strong's Lexicon Mirmah: Deceit, deception, treachery, fraud Original Word: מִרְמָה Word Origin: Derived from the root verb רָמָה (ramah), meaning "to beguile" or "to deceive." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1388 (dolos): Deceit, guile - G1387 (dolios): Deceitful, treacherous Usage: The Hebrew word "mirmah" primarily denotes deceit or treachery. It is used to describe actions or words that are intended to mislead or betray. In the Old Testament, "mirmah" often characterizes the behavior of those who act with dishonesty or craftiness, whether in personal relationships, business dealings, or spiritual matters. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, honesty and integrity were highly valued, and deceit was considered a serious moral failing. The concept of "mirmah" is often contrasted with truth and righteousness, which are foundational to the covenant relationship between God and His people. Deceptive practices were condemned in the Law of Moses, and the prophets frequently called out the deceitful behavior of the people as a sign of their unfaithfulness to God.
