Context: תִּמָּהוֹן (timmāhôn) is a noun found in the Hebrew Bible, primarily used to describe a profound state of confusion or dismay. This term is often associated with the effects of divine judgment, where the recipients are left in a state of shock and bewilderment. The word appears in Deuteronomy 28:28, where it is part of the curses pronounced upon Israel for disobedience: "The LORD will afflict you with madness, blindness, and confusion of mind." Here, תִּמָּהוֹן (timmāhôn) is translated as "confusion of mind," indicating a mental state of chaos and disorientation. This condition is not merely a natural reaction but is depicted as a divinely imposed consequence, highlighting the seriousness of turning away from God's commandments.
