Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּאַשׁ (ba'ash), which means "to stink" or "to be foul."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for בְּאשׁ (be'ash) in the Strong's Greek Concordance. However, the concept of a stench or foul odor can be related to Greek terms that describe corruption or decay, such as φθορά (phthora, Strong's Greek 5356), which means "corruption" or "decay," often used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe moral or spiritual corruption.

Usage: The term בְּאשׁ (be'ash) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a foul smell, often metaphorically representing corruption or moral decay.

Context: The Hebrew word בְּאשׁ (be'ash) appears in the context of describing a stench, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. It is derived from the root בָּאַשׁ (ba'ash), which conveys the idea of something that has become putrid or offensive to the senses. In the Hebrew Scriptures, the concept of a stench is often used to illustrate the repulsiveness of sin or the consequences of disobedience to God. The imagery of a foul odor serves as a powerful metaphor for spiritual corruption and the degradation of moral values.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to emphasize the severity of certain situations or the depth of moral decay. For example, in Isaiah 34:3, the imagery of a stench is used to describe the aftermath of divine judgment: "Their slain will be thrown out, and the stench of their corpses will rise; the mountains will flow with their blood." This vivid depiction underscores the seriousness of God's wrath and the consequences of rebellion against Him.

The use of בְּאשׁ (be'ash) in the Hebrew Bible serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining purity and righteousness before God. It calls believers to be mindful of their actions and the spiritual state of their hearts, avoiding anything that might lead to moral decay or spiritual corruption.
