Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root verb טָרַם (tarom), which means "to be high" or "to rise."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek terms, the concept of "not yet" or "before" can be found in Greek words such as οὔπω (oupō, Strong's Greek 3768), which also means "not yet." This Greek term is used in the New Testament to convey similar temporal nuances as טְרוֹם in the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: This word is used in the Hebrew Bible to indicate a time prior to a specific event or action, often translated as "not yet" or "before" in English.

Context: • The Hebrew word טְרוֹם (trom) appears in the context of indicating a period or condition that has not yet been fulfilled or completed. It is used to describe a state of anticipation or expectation, often preceding a significant event or change.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, טְרוֹם is translated as "not yet" in passages where it emphasizes the timing of events in relation to God's plans or human actions. For example, in Genesis 2:5, it is used to describe the condition of the earth before the creation of man: "Now no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth, nor had any plant of the field sprouted, for the LORD God had not yet sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground."
• The usage of טְרוֹם highlights the divine order and timing in the biblical narrative, underscoring the idea that certain events or conditions are contingent upon God's will and timing.
