Strong's Lexicon sham: There, thither Original Word: שָׁם Part of Speech: Adverb Transliteration: sham Pronunciation: shahm Phonetic Spelling: (shawm) Definition: there, then, thither Meaning: The word "sham" is an adverb of place, meaning "there," "then," or "thither." It is used to indicate a specific location or point in time. Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be desolate. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1563 (ἐκεῖ, ekei): A Greek adverb meaning "there," used similarly to indicate a specific place or point in time. • G1564 (ἐκεῖθεν, ekeithen): A Greek adverb meaning "from there," often used to denote origin or departure from a specific location. • G1566 (ἐκεῖσε, ekeise): A Greek adverb meaning "thither" or "to that place," indicating direction towards a specific location. These Greek terms serve similar functions in the New Testament as "sham" does in the Old Testament, providing spatial and temporal context within the narrative. Usage: The term "sham" appears frequently in the Hebrew Bible, often used to denote a specific place or time. It is a common word that helps to provide context within narratives, indicating where events occur or where individuals are directed to go. Context: The Hebrew word "sham" is a versatile adverb used extensively throughout the Old Testament. It is primarily employed to specify a location, often in contrast to "here" (Hebrew: פֹּה, poh). For example, in Genesis 2:8, "The LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there (שָׁם) He placed the man He had formed." This usage underscores the specific placement of the garden and the man within the narrative. "Sham" can also indicate a point in time, as seen in narrative sequences where events unfold. In Genesis 22:9, "When they arrived at the place that God had designated, Abraham built the altar there (שָׁם) and arranged the wood." Here, "sham" marks the culmination of Abraham's journey to the designated site for sacrifice. The word is also used in legal and ritual contexts, such as in Deuteronomy 12:5, "Instead, you must seek the place that the LORD your God will choose from among all your tribes to establish His name as a dwelling. To that place (שָׁם) you are to bring everything I command you." This usage highlights the importance of specific locations in the worship and covenantal practices of Israel. Overall, "sham" is a critical term for understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics within the biblical text, providing clarity and specificity to the narrative and legal instructions.
