Strong's Lexicon aischunó: To shame, to dishonor, to disgrace Original Word: αἰσχύνω Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word αἰσχός (aischos), meaning "shame" or "disgrace." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H954 (בּוּשׁ, bush): To be ashamed, to feel shame - H3637 (כָּלַם, kalam): To insult, to humiliate, to shame Usage: The verb "aischunó" primarily conveys the act of causing someone to feel shame or disgrace. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts where individuals are warned against actions that would lead to shame before God or others. It can also imply a sense of being put to shame or being humiliated. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, honor and shame were pivotal social values. Honor was associated with social standing and moral integrity, while shame was seen as a loss of status and respect. The concept of shame was not only personal but also communal, affecting one's family and community. In the Jewish context, shame was often linked to disobedience to God's commandments and was seen as a consequence of sin.
