Strong's Lexicon boshnah: Shame, disgrace Original Word: בּוֹשְׁנָה Word Origin: Derived from the root בּוֹשׁ (bosh), meaning "to be ashamed" or "to feel shame." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G152 (aischynē) - shame, disgrace - G1791 (entropē) - turning in upon oneself, confusion, shame Usage: The term "boshnah" refers to a state of shame or disgrace, often associated with a sense of public dishonor or personal humiliation. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the emotional and social consequences of actions that are considered sinful or dishonorable. The word conveys a deep sense of embarrassment and the loss of respect or dignity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, honor and shame were pivotal social values. Honor was associated with social standing, reputation, and moral integrity, while shame was linked to actions that violated community norms or divine commandments. The concept of shame was not only personal but also communal, affecting one's family and tribe. The Hebrew Bible often uses "boshnah" to illustrate the consequences of sin and the need for repentance and restoration.
