Strong's Lexicon sham: There, thither Original Word: שָׁם Part of Speech: Adverb Transliteration: sham Pronunciation: shahm Phonetic Spelling: (shawm) Definition: There, thither Meaning: there, then, thither Word Origin: Derived from a primitive Semitic root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1563 (ἐκεῖ, ekei) – meaning "there" in Greek, used similarly in the New Testament to denote a specific location. Usage: The Hebrew word "שָׁם" (sham) is an adverb used to indicate a specific location or place. It is often translated as "there" or "thither" in English. This word is frequently used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a physical location, a point in time, or a metaphorical place in a narrative. It serves to direct attention to a particular spot or situation, often in contrast to "here" (פֹּה, poh). Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of place was significant, as it often related to the presence of God, the location of significant events, or the fulfillment of divine promises. The use of "sham" in the Hebrew Bible reflects the importance of geography and physical space in the narrative of the Israelites, who were a nomadic people with a strong connection to the land promised to them by God.
