Strong's Lexicon bushah: Shame, disgrace Original Word: בּוּשָׁה Word Origin: Derived from the root בּוּשׁ (bush), which means "to be ashamed" or "to feel shame." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G152 (aischynē): Often translated as "shame" in the New Testament, reflecting similar themes of dishonor and disgrace. - G2617 (kataischynō): Meaning "to put to shame" or "to disgrace," used in contexts of public humiliation or defeat. Usage: The Hebrew word "bushah" primarily denotes a state of shame or disgrace. It is used to describe the feeling of humiliation or dishonor that arises from a failure to meet moral or social standards. In the Old Testament, "bushah" often reflects the consequences of sin, disobedience, or defeat, highlighting the emotional and social impact of such actions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, honor and shame were pivotal cultural values. Honor was associated with social standing, reputation, and adherence to community norms, while shame was linked to failure, sin, and social ostracism. The concept of "bushah" is deeply embedded in the communal and covenantal life of Israel, where individual actions could bring shame not only upon oneself but also upon one's family and community. The biblical narrative often uses "bushah" to illustrate the contrast between the righteous, who live in honor, and the wicked, who are brought to shame.
