It is used to describe a state of shock or overwhelming fear that paralyzes or silences an individual or group.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, expressions of horror and dismay were often linked to divine judgment or catastrophic events. The Israelites, living in a world where natural disasters, wars, and divine interventions were common, would have understood "tsammah" as a reaction to events that were beyond human control and comprehension. Such experiences were often seen as opportunities for reflection on one's relationship with God and the community.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>(woman's) veil<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>veil (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">צַמָּה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>woman's veil</b></font>;
