Usage: This term is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, to denote a contrast or to emphasize a point. Context: בְּרַם (beram) appears in the Aramaic sections of the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the books of Daniel and Ezra. It functions as an adverb to introduce a contrast or exception, often translated as "however" or "nevertheless" in English. This word is used to emphasize a shift in the narrative or argument, providing a nuanced understanding of the text.
