Berean Strong's Lexicon Aram: Aram Original Word: אֲרָם Word Origin: Derived from the root word רוּם (rum), meaning "high" or "elevated." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G Συρία (Syria): Refers to the region of Aram in the New Testament context. - G Ἀραμαῖος (Aramaios): Refers to an Aramean or Syrian. Usage: In the Bible, "Aram" refers to a region and its people, often translated as "Syria" in modern contexts. It denotes both a geographical area and a group of people who were descendants of Aram, the son of Shem, according to Genesis 10:22. The term is used to describe the Aramean people and their kingdom, which played a significant role in the history of Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: Aram was a significant region in the ancient Near East, located in what is now modern-day Syria. The Arameans were known for their language, Aramaic, which became a lingua franca of the region and was widely used during the time of the Persian Empire. The Arameans frequently interacted with the Israelites, sometimes as allies but often as adversaries. The kingdom of Aram-Damascus was a prominent political entity during the biblical period, and its interactions with Israel are well-documented in the Old Testament.
