Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb נָאַם (na'am), meaning "to utter" or "to declare."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent of נְאֻם in the Septuagint and the New Testament is often related to the verb λέγω (G3004), which means "to say" or "to speak." While λέγω is a more general term for speech, it is used in contexts where divine communication is conveyed, similar to the function of נְאֻם in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The term נְאֻם is frequently used in the Hebrew Bible to introduce or emphasize a divine statement or prophecy. It is often translated as "declares" or "says" in English versions of the Bible, particularly when prefixed with the Tetragrammaton (YHWH), indicating a direct message from God. Context: נְאֻם (ne'um) is a term used extensively in the prophetic literature of the Old Testament. It serves as a marker of divine speech, often introducing or concluding a message from God. This term underscores the authority and authenticity of the prophetic word, distinguishing it from human speech. It appears in various contexts, including promises, judgments, and calls to repentance. The use of נְאֻם is particularly prevalent in the books of the prophets, such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, where it often follows the phrase "Thus says the LORD" (כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה, koh amar YHWH). For example, in Jeremiah 1:8, the phrase "declares the LORD" (נְאֻם־יְהוָה) is used to affirm the certainty of God's promise to be with Jeremiah. The term emphasizes the divine origin and authority of the message, serving as a reminder of the covenant relationship between God and His people.
