Berean Strong's Lexicon moth: Death Original Word: מָוֶת Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: moth Pronunciation: maw-veth Phonetic Spelling: (mohth) Definition: Death Meaning: death Word Origin: Derived from the root מוּת (muth), which means "to die." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2288 (θάνατος, thanatos) – often used in the New Testament to denote death, both physical and spiritual. - G599 (ἀποθνῄσκω, apothnēskō) – meaning "to die." Usage: The Hebrew word "moth" primarily refers to the state of death or the act of dying. It is used in the Old Testament to describe both physical death and, in some contexts, spiritual death or separation from God. The term is often employed to convey the finality and inevitability of death as a consequence of sin, as seen in the narrative of the Fall in Genesis. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, death was viewed as a natural part of life but also as a significant event that marked the transition from the earthly realm to Sheol, the abode of the dead. The Israelites believed that death was a result of humanity's disobedience to God, as outlined in Genesis 3. Mourning practices were an important part of dealing with death, involving rituals such as tearing clothes, wearing sackcloth, and fasting.
