Strong's Lexicon paam: To beat, to strike, to impel, to move, to trouble Original Word: פָעַם Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: pa`am Pronunciation: pah-am' Phonetic Spelling: (paw-am') Definition: to tap, beat regularly, to impel, agitate Meaning: To tap, beat regularly, to impel, agitate Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek terms in Strong's Concordance, the concept of agitation or being impelled can be related to Greek terms such as: • G5015 (ταράσσω, tarassō): To disturb, agitate, trouble • G3730 (ὀρμάω, hormaō): To urge on, impel, drive These Greek terms capture similar nuances of disturbance and compulsion found in the Hebrew פָעַם (pa'am), reflecting the emotional and physical dynamics present in the biblical text. Usage: The verb פָעַם (pa'am) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe actions such as tapping or beating regularly, as well as to convey the sense of being impelled or agitated. It often carries the connotation of rhythmic or repeated motion, and can also imply emotional or physical agitation. Context: The Hebrew verb פָעַם (pa'am) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, illustrating both physical and emotional states. It is used to describe the rhythmic beating or tapping, akin to the beating of a drum or the regular pounding of a heart. This term can also extend metaphorically to describe emotional agitation or disturbance, reflecting an inner turmoil or compulsion. In the Berean Standard Bible, one notable usage of פָעַם is found in Daniel 2:1, where it describes King Nebuchadnezzar's spirit being troubled by dreams: "In the second year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams that troubled his spirit and robbed him of sleep." Here, the verb conveys the king's inner agitation and unrest caused by his dreams. The verb is also used in contexts that suggest a driving force or impulse, indicating a movement or action that is compelled by an internal or external force. This can be seen in the way it describes the stirring or motivating of individuals or groups to action.
