This term appears in the New Testament, such as in Romans 15:3, where it is written, "The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "shimtsah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a state of disgrace or reproach. It often conveys a sense of public shame or dishonor that is brought upon an individual or a group due to their actions or circumstances. The word is typically used in contexts where there is a moral or social judgment being made, reflecting the cultural values of honor and shame prevalent in ancient Israelite society.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, honor and shame were pivotal social constructs. Honor was associated with social standing, reputation, and the respect of one's community, while shame was a state to be avoided at all costs. The concept of "shimtsah" reflects this cultural backdrop, where maintaining one's honor was crucial, and falling into disgrace could have significant social and familial repercussions. The Israelites, like their neighbors, lived in a society where communal identity and reputation were paramount, and thus, the avoidance of "shimtsah" was a significant concern.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/8102.htm">shemets</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>whisper, derision<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>derision (1).<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">שִׁמְצָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> (derisive) <font size="+1"><b>whisper, derision</b></font>; — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">שׁ</font> <a href="/interlinear/exodus/32-25.htm">Exodus 32:25</a> (J). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>shame <p>Feminine of <a href="/hebrew/8102.htm">shemets</a>; scornful whispering (of hostile spectators) -- shame. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/8102.htm">shemets</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>לְשִׁמְצָ֖ה לשמצה lə·šim·ṣāh leshimTzah ləšimṣāh<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/exodus/32-25.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Exodus 32:25</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/exodus/32.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">פְרָעֹ֣ה אַהֲרֹ֔ן <b> לְשִׁמְצָ֖ה </b> בְּקָמֵיהֶֽם׃ </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/exodus/32.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> had let them get out of control <span class="itali">to be a derision</span> among their enemies--<br><a href="/kjvs/exodus/32.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> had made them naked <span class="itali">unto [their] shame</span> among their enemies:)<br><a href="/interlinear/exodus/32-25.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> get Aaron <span class="itali">derision</span> their enemies<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8103.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8103.htm">Strong's Hebrew 8103<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/leshimtzah_8103.htm">lə·šim·ṣāh — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/8102.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="8102"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="8102" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/8104.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="8104"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="8104" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
