Strong's Lexicon hum or him: To make a noise, to murmur, to roar, to be in commotion Original Word: הוּם Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 2279 (ἠχέω, echeo) - to sound, to make a noise - Strong's Greek 2351 (θόρυβος, thorybos) - noise, uproar, commotion Usage: The Hebrew verb "הוּם" (hum) primarily conveys the idea of making a noise or being in a state of commotion. It can describe the sound of murmuring, roaring, or any form of tumultuous noise. This word is often used in contexts where there is a disturbance or agitation, whether literal or metaphorical. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, sound and noise were often associated with significant events, both divine and natural. The roaring of the sea, the murmuring of a crowd, or the tumult of battle were all part of the sensory experiences of the ancient Israelites. Such sounds could symbolize divine intervention, human unrest, or the power of nature. Understanding the cultural context of noise helps in grasping the significance of "hum" in biblical narratives.
