Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic קוּם (qum), meaning "to arise" or "to stand up."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Hebrew 6965: קוּם (qum) • to arise, stand up, or establish. This Hebrew root is frequently used in the Old Testament to denote rising or standing, both in a literal and figurative sense. It is often employed in contexts of resurrection, establishment, and fulfillment of promises or prophecies.

Usage: The word "κουμ" is notably used in the New Testament in the context of Jesus performing a miracle, specifically when He raises someone from the dead or from a state of illness.

Context: The Greek term "κουμ" appears in the New Testament in a significant miracle account. It is famously used in Mark 5:41, where Jesus raises Jairus' daughter from the dead. The passage reads: "Taking her by the hand, He said to her, 'Talitha koum!' (which means, 'Little girl, I say to you, get up!')." This command demonstrates Jesus' authority over life and death, showcasing His divine power to restore life. The use of the Aramaic term "κουμ" in the Greek text highlights the authenticity and immediacy of Jesus' spoken words during the miracle. It reflects the cultural and linguistic context of the time, as Aramaic was commonly spoken among the Jewish people in first-century Palestine. The inclusion of the phrase in its original language underscores the personal and intimate nature of the miracle, as Jesus directly addresses the girl in a familiar tongue.
