Strong's Lexicon taam: Taste, discernment, judgment Original Word: טַעַם Word Origin: From the root verb טָעַם (ta'am), meaning "to taste" or "to perceive." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1089 (γεύομαι, geuomai): To taste, to experience - G144 (αἴσθησις, aisthesis): Perception, discernment Usage: The Hebrew word "taam" primarily refers to the sense of taste, but it extends metaphorically to mean discernment or judgment. It is used to describe the ability to perceive or understand, often in a moral or spiritual sense. This word can denote the faculty of making wise decisions or having insight. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "taste" was not limited to the physical act of eating but was also a metaphor for experiencing and understanding life. Wisdom literature, such as the Psalms and Proverbs, often uses sensory language to convey deeper spiritual truths. The ability to "taste" or discern was highly valued, as it was associated with wisdom and the fear of the Lord. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin(Aramaic) the same as teem, q.v.
