Berean Strong's Lexicon terem: Before, not yet Original Word: טרם Word Origin: Derived from a root that implies "to interrupt" or "to suspend." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of "before" or "not yet" can be related to Greek terms like "πρίν" (prin, Strong's 4250) or "οὔπω" (oupo, Strong's 3768), which convey similar meanings of time and sequence. Usage: The Hebrew adverb "terem" is used to denote a time before an event has occurred or a condition that has not yet been fulfilled. It often introduces a clause that describes an action or state that precedes another. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of time was often understood in relation to events and their sequence. "Terem" reflects this understanding by indicating a period or condition that exists prior to a significant event. This term is used in various contexts, from agricultural cycles to divine actions, highlighting the anticipation or preparation before a pivotal moment.
