Strong's Lexicon beram: However, but, nevertheless Original Word: בְּרַם Word Origin: Aramaic origin, used in the context of the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the Aramaic sections. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of contrast or exception can be seen in Greek words like "ἀλλά" (alla - Strong's Greek 235), which also means "but" or "however." Usage: The word "beram" is an Aramaic adverb used to introduce a contrast or exception to a previous statement. It serves to pivot the narrative or argument, indicating a shift in focus or a counterpoint to what has been previously mentioned. Cultural and Historical Background: The use of Aramaic in the Hebrew Bible is primarily found in the books of Daniel and Ezra, reflecting the historical context of the Babylonian and Persian empires, where Aramaic was the lingua franca. This reflects the period of Jewish exile and the subsequent interactions with surrounding cultures and languages. "Beram" is part of this linguistic tapestry, illustrating the influence of Aramaic on the Jewish people during this era.
