Berean Strong's Lexicon pithom: Suddenly, unexpectedly Original Word: פִּתְאֹם Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to open Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G160: aiphniōs (suddenly) - G1810: exaiphnēs (suddenly, unexpectedly) Usage: The Hebrew word "pithom" is used to describe an action or event that occurs without warning or preparation, often conveying a sense of surprise or abruptness. It is typically used in contexts where something happens quickly and without prior indication. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, sudden events were often seen as acts of divine intervention or judgment. The unexpected nature of such occurrences could be interpreted as a demonstration of divine power or as a warning to the people. The concept of suddenness in the Hebrew Bible often underscores the sovereignty of God, who can change circumstances in an instant.
