Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to "gleam" or "be a point."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of "nothing" or "insignificance" in the Hebrew Bible, as expressed by מְאוּמָה (me'umah), can be related to several Greek terms in the New Testament. While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence, similar ideas can be found in Greek words such as οὐδέν (ouden, Strong's Greek 3762), meaning "nothing," and μηδέν (meden, Strong's Greek 3367), also meaning "nothing" or "not anything." These Greek terms are used in the New Testament to convey the absence or lack of something, paralleling the Hebrew usage of מְאוּמָה. Usage: The word מְאוּמָה (me'umah) appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, typically to emphasize the absence or insignificance of something. It is often translated as "nothing" or "anything" in English. Context: מְאוּמָה (me'umah) is a Hebrew term that appears in several Old Testament passages, often used to express the concept of nothingness or the absence of something. It is employed in contexts where the speaker wishes to emphasize the lack of any significant or tangible entity. For example, in Genesis 39:6, it is used to describe how Potiphar left everything he owned in Joseph's care, except for the food he ate, indicating that Joseph was entrusted with everything else, leaving "nothing" (מְאוּמָה) out of his control. Similarly, in Job 6:21, Job laments that his friends have become "nothing" (מְאוּמָה) to him, highlighting their failure to provide support in his time of need. The term underscores the concept of emptiness or the absence of value, often serving to highlight the futility or insignificance of human efforts or possessions in the grand scheme of divine providence.
