Strong's Lexicon chelem: Dream Original Word: חֵלֶם Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: chelem Pronunciation: KHEH-lem Phonetic Spelling: (khay'-lem) Definition: a dream Meaning: A dream. Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic root חֲלַם (chalam), which means "to dream." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 3677: ὄναρ (onar) • a dream. • Strong's Greek Number 1797: ἐνύπνιον (enupnion) • a dream, vision in sleep. These Greek terms are used in the New Testament to describe dreams, often in contexts where divine messages or guidance are conveyed through dreams, similar to the usage of חֵלֶם in the Old Testament. Usage: The term חֵלֶם is used in the context of dreams, particularly those that are significant or carry a message, often requiring interpretation. Context: The Aramaic word חֵלֶם (chelem) appears in the context of the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the Aramaic sections of the Book of Daniel. It is used to describe dreams that are of divine origin or significance, often involving prophetic revelations or messages that require interpretation by someone with the gift of understanding dreams. In the Book of Daniel, dreams play a crucial role in conveying God's plans and purposes, particularly in the narratives involving King Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel himself. For instance, in Daniel 2:1, the term is used to describe the troubling dream of King Nebuchadnezzar: "In the second year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams that troubled his spirit, and sleep deserted him." (BSB). The interpretation of such dreams is a key theme in the book, highlighting the wisdom and insight granted by God to His servants.
