Strong's Lexicon leom: People, nation Original Word: לְאֹם Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: lom Pronunciation: leh-ome Phonetic Spelling: (leh-ome') Definition: a community Meaning: A community, people, or nation. Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to gather. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G758 (ἄρχων, archon): A ruler or leader, often used in the context of governance or authority over a community or nation. • G2992 (λαός, laos): Refers to a people or nation, often used in the New Testament to describe the people of God or a specific ethnic group. • G5443 (φυλή, phylē): A tribe or clan, used to denote a subgroup within a larger nation or people, often in the context of the twelve tribes of Israel. These Greek terms, while not direct translations, share thematic connections with לְאֹם in their reference to groups of people, leadership, and communal identity. Usage: The term לְאֹם (le'om) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a group of people or a nation. It often denotes a collective body of individuals bound together by common identity or purpose. Context: לְאֹם (le'om) appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe a community or nation, often in contexts that emphasize the distinct identity or destiny of a people group. The term is used in various passages to highlight the relationships and interactions between different nations or communities. For example, in Genesis 25:23, the word is used in the prophecy concerning the descendants of Isaac, where it is stated, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger." This passage underscores the idea of distinct communities with separate destinies. The term לְאֹם is also used in contexts that speak of the gathering or assembly of people, reflecting its root meaning. It conveys the notion of a collective identity, often in contrast or comparison to other groups. In the prophetic literature, לְאֹם can be used to describe the future gathering or judgment of nations, as seen in Isaiah 17:12, "Oh, the raging of many nations—they rage like the raging sea! Oh, the uproar of the peoples—they roar like the roaring of great waters." Throughout the Hebrew Bible, לְאֹם serves as a reminder of the diversity of human communities and the divine orchestration of their histories and destinies. It reflects the biblical theme of nations being both distinct and interconnected within God's overarching plan.
