Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 129 (αἷμα, haima): Refers to blood, used in the New Testament to denote both physical blood and the sacrificial blood of Christ. Usage: The term "haddam" specifically refers to "the blood" in Hebrew. It is often used in the context of sacrificial rituals, covenantal language, and as a symbol of life and atonement.
