timuthah: Death, mortality

Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: tmuwthah
Pronunciation: tee-moo-THAH
Phonetic Spelling: (tem-oo-thaw')
Definition: Death, mortality

Word Origin: Derived from the root מוּת (muth), meaning "to die" or "death."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is θάνατος (thanatos), Strong's Greek #2288, which also means "death."

Usage: The term "timuthah" refers to the concept of death or mortality. It is used to describe the state or condition of being subject to death, emphasizing the transient and finite nature of human life. In the Hebrew Bible, it often conveys the inevitability of death as a consequence of sin and the human condition.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, death was understood as a natural part of life, yet it was also seen as a result of the fall of humanity and the entrance of sin into the world. The Hebrew Scriptures often reflect on the brevity of life and the certainty of death, encouraging a life lived in obedience to God. The concept of death was also linked to the hope of resurrection and eternal life, as seen in later Jewish thought and Christian theology.
