Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root עָרָה (ʿārah), which means to be bare or to uncover.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek terms, the concept of nakedness or exposure in the Greek New Testament can be related to terms such as γυμνός (gumnos), which means naked, or ἀποκαλύπτω (apokalyptō), meaning to reveal or uncover. These Greek terms capture similar themes of exposure and revelation found in the Hebrew עָרָה (ʿārāh).

Usage: The word עָרָה (ʿārāh) appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often related to the concept of exposure or uncovering. It can refer to physical nakedness or the exposure of plans and intentions.

Context: The Hebrew term עָרָה (ʿārāh) is utilized in the Old Testament to describe both literal and figurative states of nakedness or exposure. In its literal sense, it refers to the physical state of being without clothing, as seen in contexts where shame or vulnerability is highlighted. Metaphorically, עָרָה (ʿārāh) is used to describe the uncovering of secrets or the revelation of hidden intentions, often in the context of deceit or conspiracy.

For example, in the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used in passages that discuss the exposure of one's plans or the laying bare of one's intentions. This dual usage underscores the term's flexibility in conveying both physical and metaphorical states of exposure.

The concept of nakedness in the Hebrew Bible often carries connotations of shame, vulnerability, and the need for protection or covering. In prophetic literature, the uncovering of plots or schemes is frequently associated with divine judgment or the revelation of truth.
