Strong's Lexicon Ashima: Ashima Original Word: אַשִׁימָא Word Origin: Derived from an Aramaic root, possibly related to the concept of guilt or sin. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Ashima in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific proper noun related to a deity from the Hebrew Bible. Usage: Ashima is the name of a deity worshiped by the people of Hamath, mentioned in the context of the syncretistic religious practices of the Samaritans. The name appears in the Bible as part of a list of foreign gods introduced into the Northern Kingdom of Israel by settlers from various regions. Cultural and Historical Background: Ashima is believed to be a deity associated with the city of Hamath, a significant Aramean city-state located in modern-day Syria. The worship of Ashima, along with other foreign gods, was introduced into Israel following the Assyrian conquest and the subsequent resettlement of various peoples into the region. This period was marked by religious syncretism, where the worship of Yahweh was mixed with the practices of other religions, leading to a dilution of the covenantal faith of Israel.
