Strong's Lexicon shemuah: Report, news, rumor, tidings Original Word: שְׁמוּעָה Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁמַע (shama), meaning "to hear" or "to listen." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G189: ἀκοή (akoē) - hearing, report - G3056: λόγος (logos) - word, message, report Usage: The Hebrew word "shemuah" primarily refers to a report or news that is heard. It can denote both true and false reports, depending on the context. In the biblical narrative, "shemuah" often conveys the idea of a message or information that has been circulated among people, sometimes causing fear, anticipation, or action. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, oral communication was the primary means of sharing information. Reports or rumors could spread quickly through communities, influencing public opinion and actions. The concept of "shemuah" reflects the importance of hearing and responding to news, whether it be divine messages delivered by prophets or reports of military movements and political changes.
