Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Aramaic; corresponding to the Hebrew קֶדֶם (qedem)Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3936 (παρίστημι, paristēmi): This Greek term is often used in the New Testament to mean "to stand by" or "to present," and while not a direct translation of קֱדָם, it shares the concept of positioning or placing something before another. The Greek term can imply a physical presence or a figurative presentation, aligning with the Aramaic sense of being "before" in terms of position or time. Usage: The term is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament to denote a position or time that is before or in front of something else. It can also refer to the past or to the eastward direction. Context: • The Aramaic word קֱדָם (qĕdām) appears in the context of the exilic and post-exilic periods, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, where Aramaic sections are present. It is used to convey the idea of precedence in time or space. For instance, in Daniel 2:9, the term is used to express the concept of something occurring "before" or "previously." The word is often employed in narrative contexts to describe events or actions that take place prior to others, emphasizing a sequence or order. Additionally, it can denote a geographical orientation, such as "eastward," reflecting the ancient Near Eastern perspective where the east was often associated with the past or origins.
