Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root לָקוּם (lakum), meaning "to rise" or "to stand up," with the negating prefix אַל (al), indicating "not" or "non."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 450: ἀνίστημι (anistēmi) • to rise, to stand up
• Strong's Greek Number 1453: ἐγείρω (egeirō) • to awaken, to raise up

These Greek terms are often used in the New Testament to describe resurrection or rising, providing a contrast to the Hebrew concept of אַלְקוּם, which denotes the absence of rising.

Usage: The term אַלְקוּם is used in a specific context to describe something that does not rise, often in a metaphorical or symbolic sense.

Context: The Hebrew term אַלְקוּם appears in the context of describing a state or condition where rising or standing up is negated. This term is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, and its occurrences are often tied to poetic or prophetic literature where the imagery of rising or standing is significant. The negation implies a state of defeat, inactivity, or inability to rise, often used metaphorically to describe the downfall or impotence of individuals, nations, or entities that are unable to stand against divine judgment or intervention. The term underscores themes of humility, submission, and the ultimate sovereignty of God over all creation, as those who are described as אַלְקוּם are unable to assert themselves against His will.
