Strong's Lexicon baash: To stink, to become odious, to be offensive Original Word: בָּאַשׁ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of moral and spiritual corruption can be related to Greek terms such as "μολύνω" (moluno - to defile) and "βδελύσσομαι" (bdelussomai - to abhor). Usage: The Hebrew verb "baash" primarily conveys the idea of emitting a foul odor or becoming offensive. It is used both literally, to describe physical stench, and metaphorically, to describe actions or situations that are morally or socially repugnant. The term often implies a sense of corruption or decay, whether in a physical, moral, or spiritual context. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, as in many ancient societies, odors played a significant role in daily life and religious practices. Pleasant aromas were associated with cleanliness, holiness, and divine favor, while foul smells were linked to impurity, decay, and divine disfavor. The concept of "baash" would have resonated with the Israelites as a vivid metaphor for sin and corruption, which were seen as offensive to God and detrimental to the community.
