Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic root קום (qwm), which means "to rise" or "to stand."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G4933 (συνίστημι, synistēmi): This Greek term means "to stand together" or "to establish," and it can convey a sense of permanence or stability similar to קַיָּם. While not a direct translation, the concept of establishing or making something stand firm is a thematic parallel in the Greek New Testament, reflecting the enduring nature of certain divine truths or principles. Usage: The term קַיָּם is used in the context of something that is enduring or permanent. It is an Aramaic word found in the Hebrew Bible, particularly in sections written in Aramaic. Context: • The word קַיָּם appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Daniel. It is used to describe something that is established or enduring. In Daniel 6:26 (BSB), the term is used in the decree of King Darius, where he declares that the God of Daniel is the "living God, enduring forever." This usage underscores the concept of divine permanence and the eternal nature of God, contrasting with the temporal nature of human kingdoms and decrees. The word conveys a sense of stability and unchangeability, often associated with divine attributes or decrees that are meant to last indefinitely.
