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

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek term in the Septuagint and New Testament is γυμνός (G1131), which also means naked or bare. This term is used in similar contexts, such as in Revelation 3:17, where it describes spiritual nakedness: "You say, ‘I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked."

Usage: The word עָרוֹם appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often describing physical nakedness but also used metaphorically to convey a sense of being unprotected or exposed. It is used in both literal and figurative senses.

Context: • The term עָרוֹם (ʿārôm) is found in several key passages in the Hebrew Bible. In Genesis 2:25, it describes the state of Adam and Eve before the Fall: "And the man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame." This usage highlights the innocence and lack of self-consciousness in their original state.
• In Genesis 3:7, after the Fall, the awareness of nakedness becomes associated with shame and the need for covering: "Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves."
• The term is also used in Job 1:21, where Job acknowledges his vulnerability before God: "Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD."
• In Ezekiel 16:7, the metaphorical use of עָרוֹם is evident as it describes the state of Jerusalem: "I made you thrive like a plant of the field. You grew up and matured and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed and your hair grew, but you were naked and bare."
• The concept of nakedness in the Hebrew Bible often carries connotations of exposure, vulnerability, and sometimes shame, depending on the context. It can symbolize innocence, as in the pre-Fall state, or a need for divine covering and protection.
