Strong's Lexicon
halom: Dream

Original Word: הֲלם
Part of Speech: Adverb
Transliteration: halom
Pronunciation: hah-LOHM
Phonetic Spelling: (hal-ome')
Definition: Dream
Meaning: hither

Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be healthy or strong, possibly related to the concept of binding firmly.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1797 (enupnion): A dream, used in the New Testament to describe visions or dreams, such as those experienced by Joseph, the husband of Mary, in Matthew 1:20.

Usage: In the Hebrew Bible, "halom" refers to a dream, often seen as a medium through which God communicates with individuals. Dreams in the biblical context can be prophetic, providing guidance, warnings, or revelations about future events. They are considered significant and are often interpreted by individuals with God-given insight.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, dreams were regarded as significant and often divine messages. The Israelites shared this belief, viewing dreams as a means through which God could reveal His will or provide insight into future events. Dream interpretation was a respected skill, and figures like Joseph and Daniel were renowned for their God-given ability to interpret dreams accurately.

Genesis 16:13 = here; but here also text is dubious: v Di. Judges 14:15 read הֲלֹם for הֲלֹא: see הֲ
