Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek equivalent that captures a similar sense of stupefaction or astonishment is found in Strong's Greek entries such as ἐκπλήσσω (ekplesso • G1605), which means to be amazed or astounded, often used in the New Testament to describe the reaction of people to Jesus' teachings and miracles.

Usage: The term שִׁמָּמוֹן is used in the context of describing a profound sense of shock or desolation, often in response to divine judgment or catastrophic events.

Context: The Hebrew word שִׁמָּמוֹן (shimmamon) is a noun that conveys a deep sense of stupefaction or bewilderment. It is closely related to the root שָׁמֵם (shamem), which is frequently used in the Hebrew Bible to describe desolation or devastation, particularly in the context of divine judgment. The term captures the emotional and psychological state of individuals or communities who are left in a state of shock and confusion due to overwhelming circumstances. This word is not commonly found in the Hebrew Bible, but its conceptual significance is echoed in various passages where the effects of divine wrath or catastrophic events leave people in a state of stunned disbelief. The use of שִׁמָּמוֹן underscores the profound impact of such experiences, highlighting the human response to the divine actions that lead to desolation.
