Usage: The term "lechum" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a battle or war. It often appears in contexts describing physical conflicts between nations or groups. The word emphasizes the act of engaging in warfare, highlighting the struggle and confrontation inherent in such events. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, warfare was a common aspect of life, often seen as a means of survival and defense.
