Strong's Lexicon raam: To thunder, to roar Original Word: רָעַם Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "raam," the concept of God's voice as thunder can be related to Greek words like "βροντή" (brontē, G1027), meaning "thunder," used in contexts such as Revelation 10:3. Usage: The Hebrew verb "raam" primarily conveys the sound and power of thunder, often used metaphorically to describe the voice or presence of God. It signifies a loud, resounding noise that commands attention and evokes awe. In the biblical context, "raam" is used to illustrate God's majesty and power, as His voice is likened to thunder, demonstrating His authority over creation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, thunder was often associated with divine activity. It was perceived as a manifestation of a deity's power and presence. In the Hebrew Bible, thunder is frequently linked to God's revelation and judgment. The Israelites, living in a region where thunderstorms were a common natural phenomenon, would have understood thunder as a powerful symbol of God's might and His ability to intervene in the world.
