It is used in contexts where there is an expectation of promptness or immediacy, but instead, there is a postponement or lingering. This term can carry a negative connotation, suggesting a failure to act in a timely manner.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, timeliness was often associated with obedience and respect, especially in religious and communal settings. Delays could be seen as a lack of commitment or faithfulness, particularly in fulfilling vows or responding to divine commands. The concept of time in the ancient Near East was closely tied to agricultural cycles and religious observances, making promptness a valued trait.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to trample<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>impose heavy rent (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">בשׁס</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb Po`el</b></font> <em>Infinitive</em> suffix <font class="hebrew2">בּוֺשַׁסְכֶם</font> <a href="/interlinear/amos/5-11.htm">Amos 5:11</a> probably <em>your trampling</em> (by dissimilation from <font class="hebrew2">בּוּס</font>) followed by <font class="hebrew2">עַל</font>. <p><font class="hebrew2">בּשֶׁת</font> see below <font class="hebrew2">בושׁ</font>. <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>tread <p>A primitive root; to trample down -- tread. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>בּוֹשַׁסְכֶ֞ם בושסכם bō·wō·šas·ḵem boshasChem bōwōšasḵem<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/amos/5-11.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Amos 5:11</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/amos/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">לָ֠כֵן יַ֣עַן <b> בּוֹשַׁסְכֶ֞ם </b> עַל־ דָּ֗ל</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/amos/5.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> because <span class="itali">you impose heavy rent</span> on the poor<br><a href="/kjvs/amos/5.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> Forasmuch <span class="itali">therefore as your treading</span> [is] upon the poor,<br><a href="/interlinear/amos/5-11.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> Therefore because <span class="itali">impose</span> on the poor<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1318.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1318.htm">Strong's Hebrew 1318<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/boshaschem_1318.htm">bō·wō·šas·ḵem — 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/1317.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1317"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1317" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/1319.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1319"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1319" /></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>
