Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G4750, στόμα (stoma), which also means "mouth." This Greek term is used throughout the New Testament to denote the physical mouth and is often associated with speech, communication, and the expression of thoughts and intentions. Like its Aramaic counterpart, στόμα is used in contexts that emphasize the power and significance of spoken words, as seen in passages such as Matthew 12:34 (BSB): "For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks."

Usage: The term פֻם is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament to denote the physical mouth, often in the context of speech or expression.

Context: The Aramaic word פֻם (pum) appears in the context of the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Daniel and Ezra, which contain sections written in Aramaic. This term is used to describe the mouth, a crucial organ for speech and expression. In the ancient Near Eastern context, the mouth was often seen as a symbol of communication and authority, as it is the means by which words—considered powerful and binding—are spoken.

In the book of Daniel, פֻם is used in narratives that involve communication of divine messages and decrees, highlighting the importance of the mouth in conveying significant information. For example, in Daniel 4:31 (BSB), the term is used in the context of a royal decree: "While the words were still in the king’s mouth, a voice came from heaven: ‘King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared: Your kingdom has been removed from you.’" This illustrates the immediacy and authority associated with spoken words.

Similarly, in Ezra, the term is used in the context of official proclamations and the reading of the law, emphasizing the role of the mouth in the dissemination of legal and religious texts. The use of פֻם in these contexts underscores the cultural and religious significance of speech in the ancient world.
