197. ulam

Berean Strong's Lexicon

ulam: Porch, Vestibule, Hall

Original Word: אוּלָם
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: ulam
Pronunciation: oo-lahm'
Phonetic Spelling: (oo-lawm')
Definition: Porch, Vestibule, Hall
Meaning: a vestibule

Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to accumulate or to be large.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "ulam," the concept of a porch or vestibule can be related to the Greek word "πρόναος" (pronaios), which refers to the front part of a temple.

Usage: The Hebrew word "ulam" refers to a large, open space or hall, often used to describe the entrance or porch area of a building, particularly in the context of the temple or other significant structures. It signifies a place of transition, moving from the outside world into a sacred or important space.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern architecture, the "ulam" served as a transitional space that provided a buffer between the secular and the sacred. In the context of the Israelite temple, the ulam was an essential part of the temple complex, serving as a gathering place for worshippers and a preparatory area before entering the more sacred parts of the temple. The design and function of the ulam reflect the importance of order and reverence in approaching God.
