It is used to convey a sense of anticipation or a condition that precedes another event. Context: The Hebrew term "טֶרֶם" (terem) is a primitive particle that is frequently used in the Hebrew Scriptures to indicate a state of incompletion or anticipation. It is often translated as "not yet" or "before" in English. This term is used to describe situations where an event or action is expected but has not yet come to pass. For example, in Genesis 2:5, it is used to describe the condition of the earth before the growth of plants: "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."
