This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew word הָמוֹן (hamon), illustrating its varied applications in biblical texts and its corresponding Greek terms that capture similar concepts.

Usage: The word הָמוֹן (hamon) appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Bible, often describing the sound of a multitude, the tumult of a crowd, or the abundance of wealth. It is used both literally and metaphorically.

Context: • Noise/Tumult: הָמוֹן (hamon) frequently describes the sound of a large group of people or the tumultuous noise of a crowd. For example, in Isaiah 13:4, it is used to depict the uproar of kingdoms gathering for battle: "Listen, a tumult on the mountains, like that of a great multitude! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like nations massing together! The LORD of Hosts is mustering an army for war."

• Crowd: The term can also refer to a crowd or multitude of people. In 1 Kings 18:41, Elijah tells Ahab, "Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain," where the sound of rain is likened to the noise of a crowd.

• Disquietude: הָמוֹן (hamon) can imply a sense of disquiet or unrest, as seen in Ezekiel 7:12, where it is associated with the tumult of societal upheaval: "The time has come; the day has arrived. Let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn, for wrath is upon all their multitude."

• Wealth: In some contexts, הָמוֹן (hamon) signifies abundance or wealth, as in Proverbs 13:11: "Dishonest wealth will dwindle, but what is earned through hard work will multiply."
