Strong's Lexicon ulam: Porch, Vestibule, Hall Original Word: אוּלָם Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: uwlam Pronunciation: oo-lahm' Phonetic Spelling: (oo-lawm') Definition: a vestibule Meaning: A vestibule or porch, typically referring to an architectural feature in ancient structures, particularly in the context of the temple. Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to protrude. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3485: ναός (naos) • Refers to a temple or sanctuary, often used in the New Testament to denote the inner part of the temple where God dwells. - G4133: πλήν (plen) • While not directly related to architectural terms, this Greek word means "but" or "except," often used to denote contrast or exception in the text. It does not have a direct architectural correlation but is included here for completeness in the Strong's numbering system. Usage: The term אוּלָם is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a vestibule or porch, often associated with the entrance of a significant building, such as the temple. It denotes a space that serves as a transitional area between the exterior and the interior of a structure. Context: אוּלָם (ulam) is a term used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a vestibule or porch, primarily in the context of Solomon's Temple. This architectural feature is mentioned in several passages, highlighting its significance in the design and function of sacred spaces. The אוּלָם served as an entryway, providing a grand and formal approach to the temple's inner sanctuaries. It is described in detail in 1 Kings 6:3, where it is noted as being twenty cubits wide and ten cubits deep, extending across the front of the temple. The vestibule was an integral part of the temple's design, reflecting the grandeur and holiness of the space it led into. The אוּלָם is also mentioned in 2 Chronicles 3:4, where it is described as having a height of one hundred and twenty cubits, emphasizing its imposing and majestic nature. This architectural element was not only functional but also symbolic, representing the threshold between the secular and the sacred.
