Berean Strong's Lexicon beesh: Ashamed, shameful Original Word: בֵּישׁ Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: beesh Pronunciation: baysh Phonetic Spelling: (be-aysh') Definition: Ashamed, shameful Meaning: to smell bad, to be offensive Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint (LXX) for the concept of shame is αἰσχύνη (aischynē), Strong's Greek #152. Usage: The Hebrew word "beesh" is used to describe a state of being ashamed or feeling shame. It often conveys a sense of disgrace or dishonor, typically in a moral or ethical context. In the Hebrew Bible, it is used to express the emotional response of individuals who have acted contrary to God's commandments or societal norms. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, honor and shame were significant social values. Being "ashamed" was not merely an internal feeling but had social implications, affecting one's standing within the community. Shame was often associated with sin, failure, or defeat, and it was a powerful motivator for maintaining social and religious norms. The concept of shame in the Hebrew Bible is closely tied to the covenant relationship between God and His people, where disobedience to God's laws would lead to shame and separation from His favor.
