Strong's Lexicon raam: To thunder, to roar Original Word: רָאַם Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: ra'am Pronunciation: rah-am Phonetic Spelling: (raw-am') Definition: To thunder, to roar Meaning: to rise Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "raam," the concept of God's powerful voice can be related to Greek terms like "βροντή" (brontē, Strong's G1027), meaning "thunder," which appears in contexts such as Revelation 6:1. Usage: The Hebrew verb "raam" primarily conveys the idea of a loud, resounding noise, often associated with thunder. It is used to describe the powerful and awe-inspiring voice of God, as well as the natural phenomenon of a thunderstorm. The term emphasizes the majesty and authority of God's voice, which can both comfort and instill fear. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, thunder was often associated with the voice of the gods. In the Hebrew Bible, thunder is frequently linked to the presence and power of Yahweh, the God of Israel. This association underscores God's sovereignty over creation and His ability to communicate with His people in dramatic and unmistakable ways. Thunder, as a natural phenomenon, was both feared and revered, symbolizing divine intervention and judgment.
