Strong's Lexicon orem: Nakedness, Nudity Original Word: עֹרֶם Word Origin: Derived from the root עָרַם (aram), which means "to be bare" or "to be cunning." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1131 (gymnos): Often used in the New Testament to denote physical nakedness or metaphorical exposure, as seen in passages like Revelation 3:17. Usage: The Hebrew word "orem" primarily denotes the state of being without clothing, emphasizing vulnerability and exposure. It can also imply a lack of protection or covering, both physically and metaphorically. In some contexts, it may carry connotations of shame or innocence, depending on the narrative. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, clothing was not only a practical necessity but also a symbol of status, identity, and dignity. Nakedness, therefore, often represented a loss of these attributes, leading to shame or dishonor. In the biblical context, nakedness can also symbolize spiritual exposure or the need for divine covering, as seen in the account of Adam and Eve.
