Strong's Lexicon erom: Naked, bare Original Word: עֵרוֹם Part of Speech: Adjective; noun masculine; Adjective; noun abstract Transliteration: erom Pronunciation: ay-rome Phonetic Spelling: (ay-rome') Definition: Naked, bare Meaning: nudity Word Origin: Derived from the root עָרָה (arah), meaning "to be bare" or "to be exposed." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1131 (gymnos): Often used in the New Testament to describe physical nakedness or lack of clothing. - G1562 (ekdyō): To strip off or take off, used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe putting off the old self. Usage: The Hebrew word "erom" primarily denotes a state of being unclothed or exposed. It is often used in the Old Testament to describe physical nakedness, but it can also carry metaphorical connotations of vulnerability, shame, or innocence. The term is used to depict both literal and figurative states of exposure, often highlighting a lack of protection or covering. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, nakedness was generally associated with shame and dishonor, particularly in public settings. Clothing was not only a practical necessity but also a symbol of dignity and social status. The concept of nakedness in the Bible often extends beyond the physical to represent spiritual or moral exposure. For example, the nakedness of Adam and Eve after the Fall symbolizes their newfound awareness of sin and vulnerability before God.
