Strong's Lexicon ulam: However, but, yet, indeed Original Word: אוּלָם Part of Speech: Adverb Transliteration: uwlam Pronunciation: oo-lahm' Phonetic Spelling: (oo-lawm') Definition: however, on the contrary Meaning: The term אוּלָם is an adverb meaning "however" or "on the contrary." It is used to introduce a contrast or exception to a previous statement. Word Origin: Derived from the root word אָלַם (alam), which means "to bind" or "to be dumb." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 235: ἀλλά (alla) • meaning "but," "however," or "on the contrary," used similarly in Greek to introduce a contrast or exception. • Strong's Greek Number 4133: πλήν (plēn) • meaning "nevertheless," "but," or "except," also used to denote contrast or exception in Greek texts. These Greek terms function similarly to אוּלָם in their respective contexts, providing a linguistic bridge between Hebrew and Greek biblical texts. Usage: This word appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote a shift in thought, often contrasting a preceding idea with a new or opposing one. It is used to emphasize a change in direction or to highlight an exception. Context: אוּלָם (ulam) is a Hebrew adverb that serves as a pivotal word in biblical texts, often marking a transition from one idea to another, typically introducing a contrast or exception. It is used to draw attention to a significant shift in narrative or argument, providing a counterpoint to what has been previously stated. This word is found in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, where it functions to clarify or redefine the understanding of a situation or statement. For example, in the book of Job, אוּלָם is used to introduce Job's rebuttal to his friends' arguments, emphasizing his perspective against theirs. The use of אוּלָם is crucial for understanding the dynamics of biblical dialogue and narrative, as it often signals a deeper or alternative insight into the unfolding story.
