Strong's Lexicon Lo Ruchamah: Not Pitied, No Mercy Original Word: לֹא רֻחָמָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words לֹא (lo, meaning "not") and רֻחָמָה (ruchamah, meaning "pitied" or "shown mercy") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Lo Ruchamah" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew name with a unique prophetic significance. Usage: The name "Lo Ruchamah" is used in the Book of Hosea as a symbolic name given to the prophet Hosea's daughter. It signifies God's message to the Kingdom of Israel, indicating that He would no longer show mercy or pity to them due to their persistent unfaithfulness and idolatry. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of Hosea's prophetic ministry, the Northern Kingdom of Israel was experiencing a period of moral and spiritual decline. The use of symbolic names for Hosea's children was a common prophetic method to convey God's messages to His people. "Lo Ruchamah" served as a stark warning of impending judgment and the withdrawal of divine compassion, reflecting the seriousness of Israel's covenantal breach with God.
