Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that corresponds to the concept of dissimulation or hypocrisy is found in Strong's Greek Number G1388, δόλος (dolos), which means deceit or guile. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe similar themes of insincerity and deception, particularly in the context of moral and spiritual conduct.

Usage: The word מַשָּׁאוֹן is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe actions or attitudes that are insincere or deceitful, particularly in religious or moral contexts. It highlights the contrast between outward appearances and inner realities.

Context: מַשָּׁאוֹן appears in the Hebrew Bible as a term that underscores the theme of hypocrisy, especially in the context of religious observance. It is used to critique those who outwardly perform religious duties but inwardly harbor deceitful intentions. This term serves as a warning against the dangers of external religiosity that lacks genuine faith and integrity. The prophetic literature often employs מַשָּׁאוֹן to call the people of Israel to authentic worship and ethical living, emphasizing that God desires truth in the inward parts rather than mere ritualistic compliance.

The concept of מַשָּׁאוֹן is closely related to the prophetic critique of Israel's leaders and people, who are often accused of maintaining a facade of piety while engaging in unjust or idolatrous practices. This term is a reminder of the importance of aligning one's actions with one's professed beliefs and the divine call to live a life of sincerity and truth.
