Strong's Lexicon gelom: Unformed substance, embryo Original Word: גְּלוֹם Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to wrap up or fold together. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of God's foreknowledge and the sanctity of life is echoed in passages like Ephesians 1:4-5, where believers are described as being chosen by God before the foundation of the world. Usage: The term "gelom" is used to describe an unformed or embryonic state, often referring to the initial stages of human life. It conveys the idea of something that is not yet fully developed or shaped, emphasizing the potential and divine knowledge of life even before it takes form. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the understanding of human development was limited compared to modern science. However, there was a profound recognition of the sanctity and divine involvement in the creation of life. The use of "gelom" reflects a deep respect for the mystery and sacredness of life from its very inception, acknowledging God's intimate knowledge and care for each person even before birth.
