Strong's Lexicon arom: Naked, bare, exposed Original Word: עָרוֹם Word Origin: Derived from the root עָרָה (arah), which means "to be bare" or "to be exposed." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "arom" is γυμνός (gumnos), Strong's Greek #1131, which also means "naked" or "bare." Usage: The Hebrew word "arom" primarily denotes a state of being without clothing, emphasizing vulnerability and exposure. It is often used in the context of physical nakedness but can also imply a metaphorical sense of being unprotected or defenseless. In the Hebrew Bible, "arom" is used to describe both literal and figurative nakedness, highlighting human frailty and the need for divine covering. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, clothing was not only a practical necessity but also a symbol of status, dignity, and identity. To be naked was often associated with shame, poverty, or humiliation. In the biblical narrative, nakedness can symbolize innocence, as seen in the account of Adam and Eve before the Fall, or shame and exposure, as seen after their disobedience. The concept of nakedness also plays a role in prophetic literature, where it can symbolize the exposure of sin or judgment.
