Strong's Lexicon ulam: However, but, yet, indeed Original Word: אוּלָם Word Origin: Derived from the root word אָלַם (alam), which means "to bind" or "to be dumb." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "ulam," similar conjunctions in Greek include "ἀλλά" (alla) and "δέ" (de), which are used to denote contrast or exception. Usage: The Hebrew word "ulam" is primarily used as a conjunction or adverb to introduce a contrast or exception. It is often translated as "however," "but," or "yet" in English. This word is used to emphasize a shift in thought or to highlight a significant point in a narrative or argument. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew literature, conjunctions like "ulam" played a crucial role in the structure and flow of narrative and poetic texts. They helped to delineate shifts in perspective, introduce new ideas, or contrast previous statements. Understanding these conjunctions is essential for interpreting the nuances of Hebrew scripture.
