Strong's Lexicon kelimmuth: Disgrace, shame, humiliation Original Word: כְּלִמּוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּלַם (kalam), which means "to shame" or "to disgrace." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G152: aischynē (αἰσχύνη) - shame, disgrace - G2617: kataischynō (καταισχύνω) - to put to shame, to disgrace Usage: The Hebrew word "kelimmuth" refers to a state of disgrace or shame, often in a public or communal context. It conveys a sense of dishonor and humiliation that affects one's reputation and standing within the community. This term is used to describe both personal and collective experiences of shame, often as a result of sin, defeat, or divine judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, honor and shame were pivotal social values. Honor was associated with social standing, reputation, and the respect of one's peers, while shame was a state to be avoided at all costs. Public disgrace could result from personal failure, moral transgression, or military defeat. The concept of shame was not only personal but also communal, affecting families and tribes. The Hebrew Scriptures often depict God as the one who can remove shame and restore honor, emphasizing the importance of divine intervention in overcoming disgrace.
