This is seen in the New Testament, where people frequently express amazement at Jesus' teachings and miracles (e.g., Matthew 8:27).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew word "temah" conveys a sense of astonishment or wonder, often in response to something unexpected or extraordinary. It is used to describe a reaction of awe or surprise, typically in the context of witnessing God's mighty acts or the unfolding of His divine plan.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, expressions of astonishment were common in response to divine interventions or miraculous events. The Israelites often experienced "temah" when they witnessed God's power, whether through deliverance, judgment, or revelation. This reaction was not merely emotional but also carried a spiritual dimension, acknowledging the majesty and sovereignty of God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) from a root corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/8539.htm">tamah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a wonder<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>wonders (3).<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">תְּמַהּ</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>wonder</b></font>, as wrought by God (<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> Syriac;
