Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "ummah," the concept of proximity or association can be found in Greek prepositions such as "μετά" (meta, G3326) meaning "with" or "after," and "παρά" (para, G3844) meaning "beside" or "alongside."

Usage: The Hebrew word "ummah" is primarily used as a preposition to denote proximity or association. It conveys the idea of being beside or alongside something or someone. It is often used to describe physical proximity or a close relationship between entities.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, spatial relationships were significant in conveying social and relational dynamics. Being "beside" someone could imply support, alliance, or companionship. The use of "ummah" in the Hebrew Bible reflects these cultural nuances, emphasizing the importance of community, partnership, and mutual support.
