Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent of the Hebrew יָמַשׁ (yāmash) in the Septuagint and New Testament contexts is often associated with Strong's Greek Number G5584, ψαύω (psaúō), which also means to touch or handle. This Greek term is used in similar contexts where physical contact or the act of feeling is described, maintaining the thematic connection between the Hebrew and Greek scriptures. Usage: The verb יָמַשׁ (yāmash) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the act of touching or feeling, often in a physical sense. It can imply a tactile interaction or the act of groping, especially in darkness or blindness. Context: The Hebrew verb יָמַשׁ (yāmash) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, illustrating both literal and metaphorical uses. It is often associated with the sense of touch, as seen in narratives where individuals physically interact with objects or people. For example, in Genesis 27:21, Isaac asks Jacob to come near so he can "touch" him to verify his identity. This verb is also used in contexts of blindness or darkness, where individuals "grope" as if feeling their way without sight, as in Deuteronomy 28:29: "You will grope at noon as a blind man gropes in the darkness." The term conveys a sense of uncertainty and reliance on the tactile sense when other senses are impaired or insufficient.
