Strong's Lexicon timmahon: Astonishment, bewilderment, confusion Original Word: תִּמָּהוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּמַהּ (tamah), meaning "to be astounded" or "to be amazed." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G181: ἄστατος (astatos) - unstable, unsettled - G5015: ταράσσω (tarasso) - to disturb, to trouble Usage: The Hebrew word "timmahon" conveys a sense of astonishment or bewilderment, often in the context of judgment or divine retribution. It describes a state of confusion or dismay that results from unexpected or overwhelming circumstances. In the biblical narrative, it is frequently associated with the consequences of disobedience to God, where the people experience a profound sense of confusion as part of divine punishment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "timmahon" would have been understood within the framework of covenantal blessings and curses. The Israelites believed that obedience to God's commandments would result in blessings, while disobedience would lead to curses, including confusion and dismay. This reflects the broader Ancient Near Eastern understanding of divine retribution and the importance of maintaining a harmonious relationship with the deity.
