Strong's Lexicon Yalam: To be silent, to be dumb, to be speechless Original Word: יַעְלָם Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Ya`lam Pronunciation: yah-LAHM Phonetic Spelling: (yah-lawm') Definition: To be silent, to be dumb, to be speechless Meaning: Jalam Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4623 (σιγάω, sigao): To be silent, to hold one's peace. - G5392 (σιωπάω, siopao): To be silent, to become speechless. Usage: The Hebrew verb "yalam" primarily conveys the idea of being silent or speechless. It is used in contexts where an individual is unable to speak, either due to awe, fear, or divine intervention. The term can also imply a deliberate choice to remain silent or to refrain from speaking. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, speech was considered a powerful tool, and the ability to speak was often associated with authority and influence. Silence, therefore, could be seen as a sign of submission, respect, or the acknowledgment of a higher power. In biblical narratives, being rendered speechless often signifies a moment of divine encounter or judgment, where human words fall short in the presence of the divine.
