Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G1941 (ἐπικαλέω, epikaleō), which means to call upon, to invoke, or to name. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to denote calling upon the name of the Lord or invoking a name in prayer or authority, reflecting a similar concept of identity and authority as seen in the Hebrew שֻׁם.

Usage: The term שֻׁם is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament to denote a name or designation that signifies identity, authority, or character. It is often used in contexts where a name is given as a mark of honor or authority.

Context: The Aramaic word שֻׁם appears in the Old Testament primarily in the books of Daniel and Ezra, which contain significant portions of Aramaic text. In these contexts, שֻׁם is used to refer to a name or title that carries with it a sense of identity and authority. For example, in Daniel 2:20, the term is used in the context of praising the name of God: "Daniel answered and said: 'Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and power belong to Him.'" Here, the "name" signifies God's character and authority. Similarly, in Ezra 5:1, the prophets Haggai and Zechariah are mentioned by name, indicating their roles and authority as prophets: "Now Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the prophet, a descendant of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them." The use of שֻׁם in these passages underscores the importance of names as markers of divine authority and human identity.
