Meaning: a dream

Word Origin: Derived from the root חָלַם (chalam), which means "to dream."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1797 (enupnion): A dream, used in the New Testament to describe visions received during sleep (e.g., Matthew 1:20, where Joseph is instructed by an angel in a dream).

Usage: The Hebrew word "chalom" refers to a dream, often understood as a vision or message received during sleep. In the biblical context, dreams are frequently seen as a means through which God communicates with individuals, providing guidance, warnings, or revelations about future events.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, dreams were considered significant and often interpreted as divine messages. The Bible reflects this cultural understanding, with dreams playing a crucial role in the narratives of key figures such as Joseph, Daniel, and others. Dreams were sometimes seen as a medium for divine revelation, requiring interpretation by those with God-given wisdom.
