Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root עָרַם (aram), which means to be crafty or shrewd.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The concept of cunning or craftiness in the Hebrew Bible can be compared to several Greek terms in the New Testament, such as πανουργία (panourgia • Strong's Greek 3834), which also conveys the idea of craftiness or trickery. Another related term is σοφία (sophia • Strong's Greek 4678), which means wisdom, but can imply shrewdness depending on the context.

Usage: The word עֹרֶם is used in the context of describing a cunning plan or strategy. It is associated with the idea of shrewdness or craftiness, often in a negative sense, implying deceit or trickery.

Context: • The Hebrew term עֹרֶם (orem) appears in the Old Testament to describe a form of cunning or craftiness. It is closely related to the concept of wisdom, but with a focus on the shrewd or crafty application of knowledge. This term is often used in contexts where individuals employ cleverness or deceit to achieve their goals.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated in a way that reflects its nuanced meaning of strategic cunning. For example, in Joshua 9:4, the Gibeonites use a stratagem to deceive the Israelites: "they acted with cunning and went as a delegation with worn-out sacks on their donkeys, old wineskins, cracked and mended."
• The use of עֹרֶם highlights the moral ambiguity of cunning; it can be seen as a negative trait when used for deceitful purposes, yet it also reflects a certain level of intelligence and strategic thinking. This duality is evident in the biblical narrative, where the outcomes of such stratagems often reveal deeper truths about human nature and divine justice.
