Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Hebrew 6965: קוּם (qum) – to arise, stand up, or establish. Usage: The term "koum" is used in the New Testament as a command to rise or get up. It is most notably used by Jesus in the context of miraculous healings, where He commands individuals to rise from sickness or even death.
