Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Aramaic; corresponding to the Hebrew עוֹלָם (olam)Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G165: αἰών (aion) • often translated as "age," "eternity," or "world," this Greek term shares a similar semantic range with עָלַם, denoting long durations of time or the concept of eternity. Usage: This Aramaic term is used to denote concepts of time that extend beyond the immediate present, encompassing both the distant past and the indefinite future. It is often translated as "forever," "eternity," or "ancient times" in English. Context: The Aramaic word עָלַם (alam) is a term that conveys the idea of time that is not limited by human understanding, often used in contexts that describe God's eternal nature or the everlasting covenant. In the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, עָלַם is employed to express the concept of perpetuity or timelessness. For instance, in Daniel 2:20, the term is used in the context of God's eternal wisdom and power: "Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and power belong to Him." This usage underscores the divine attribute of eternity, contrasting the temporal nature of human existence with the infinite nature of God. The term also appears in legal and covenantal contexts, emphasizing the enduring nature of divine promises and decrees.
