Berean Strong's Lexicon mebukah: Confusion, perplexity, bewilderment Original Word: מבוכה Word Origin: Derived from the root בוך (bukh), which conveys the idea of confusion or perplexity. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 181: ἀκαταστασία (akatastasia) - meaning instability, disorder, confusion. - Strong's Greek 5017: ταραχή (tarachē) - meaning disturbance, trouble, confusion. Usage: The Hebrew word "mebukah" is used to describe a state of confusion or perplexity. It often refers to situations where individuals or groups are in disarray, lacking clarity or direction. This term can be applied to both physical and mental states of confusion, as well as to social or political turmoil. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, as in many ancient cultures, clarity and order were highly valued, both in personal life and in the community. Confusion or disorder was often seen as a sign of divine displeasure or as a consequence of straying from God's commandments. The concept of "mebukah" would have been understood as a negative state, one that needed to be resolved through seeking God's guidance and returning to His ways.
