Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G153 (αἰσχύνη, aischynē): This Greek term is often translated as "shame" or "disgrace" and is used in the New Testament to convey a sense of dishonor or embarrassment, similar to the connotations of עֶרְיָה in the Hebrew Bible. • G807 (ἀσχημοσύνη, aschēmosynē): This Greek word means "indecency" or "shameful exposure" and is used in the New Testament to describe actions or states that are considered disgraceful or improper, paralleling the concept of nakedness and exposure found in עֶרְיָה. These Greek terms reflect the continuity of the biblical theme of shame associated with exposure and the need for spiritual covering and redemption. Usage: The term עֶרְיָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the state of being unclothed, often carrying connotations of shame or vulnerability. It is used in contexts that highlight the disgrace or humiliation associated with being exposed. Context: The Hebrew word עֶרְיָה (eryah) appears in the Old Testament to describe physical nakedness, often with an emphasis on the shame or dishonor that accompanies such exposure. This term is used in various contexts, including prophetic literature, where it symbolizes the humiliation of a nation or people. For example, in Ezekiel 16:7, the term is used metaphorically to describe the state of Jerusalem, highlighting its vulnerability and disgrace before God. The concept of nakedness in the Hebrew Bible frequently extends beyond the physical to include spiritual and moral dimensions, representing a lack of protection or covering, both physically and spiritually. In the cultural and religious context of ancient Israel, nakedness was often associated with shame and dishonor. The exposure of one's body was considered a violation of social norms and religious laws, reflecting a deeper spiritual nakedness or separation from God. The use of עֶרְיָה in the biblical text underscores the importance of modesty and the protective covering provided by God's covenant and laws.
