Strong's Lexicon tsammah: Horror, Dismay Original Word: צַמָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root צָמַם (tsamam), which means "to silence" or "to destroy." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, similar concepts of horror or dismay can be found in Greek words like φόβος (phobos, Strong's G5401), meaning "fear" or "terror." Usage: The Hebrew word "tsammah" conveys a sense of horror or dismay, often associated with a profound emotional or psychological response to a terrifying or devastating event. It is used to describe a state of shock or overwhelming fear that paralyzes or silences an individual or group. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, expressions of horror and dismay were often linked to divine judgment or catastrophic events. The Israelites, living in a world where natural disasters, wars, and divine interventions were common, would have understood "tsammah" as a reaction to events that were beyond human control and comprehension. Such experiences were often seen as opportunities for reflection on one's relationship with God and the community.
